The Clarinet BBoard

My brother unwittingly paid me a compliment

Author: Rachel  Date:   2004-11-10 00:20 My little brother was watching TV the other night, and I happened to be in the room. A clarinet solo came onto the TV, and after demanding that I teach him to play it, he said "that doesn't sound like you, you play mostly the lower, dark-sounding notes." Seeing as I play notes across pretty much the whole range of the clarinet when I practice, it's good to know that he thinks my high-and-middle notes sound like low notes. Anyway, there wasn't really much reason for this post- I was just rather pleased with myself.

Author: Rachel  Date:   2004-11-10 23:34 No, he was being serious. My brother is so much like me that it's scary, so I can usually tell what he's thinking. I am sounding pretty good at the moment...I just found an absolutely beautiful reed- nice dark sound, excellent response across my entire range- lying around on my bedroom floor. Oh, and just to have a little dig at the Buffet mafia and the Vandoren mafia- this is being achieved on a YAMAHA clarinet. And an INTERMEDIATE Yamaha clarinet, at that. With Rico (Evolution) reeds.
