I use a Buffet R-13 clarinet(it's just 2 years old), a Vandoren 5RV Lyre mouthpiece, an Optimum ligature, and Vandoren #4's. I'm just stuck on Vandoren, I guess, but I always have to modify the reeds. Do other people have this problem with recent Vandorens? Oh well.
What stuff does everyone else use?
Also, as a sidebar-we have District Solos and Ensembles on Friday. My solo is at 10:44 AM. Wish me luck!(although our clarinet choir needs far more luck than my solo! Eeek.)

Clarinets(I only have(had) B-flat clarinets.)

4)Selmer 10G
5)Selmer 10SII
Ligatures
1)Rovner(At first liked it but later I felt it avoids
freer vibration of reeds)

3)Bonade inverted - nickel plated
4)Bay inverted - gold plated(good for ordinary heel reeds)
5)Buffet
6)Selmer

8)Ligaphone(good for detached tunes)

8)Greg-Smith #1
9)Pomarico Grenadilla
10)Vandoren Crystal(Too hard for teeth.Saliva sticks onto
the wall)

13)Michell Alignon made in Germany
Reeds:all 3-3.5 except Orivielli
1)V12
2)Vandoren Traditional
3)Vandoren Traditional hand-selected(the vest for 2RV)

9)GS(I now ordered this one to Muncy,not yet experienced)
Reed holders
1)Vandoren for 4 reeds(includes dehumidifier).

I'll put in my two cents.
Buffet R-13
Vandoren M-13 Lyre
Vandoren V-12 3.5 reeds
Bonade Ligature (I just realized it was a Bonade and I've had for over 2 years, my private lesson teacher helped me pick it out, I really liked it, but didn't bother to see what ligature it actually was-from what i've read, apparently it has a good reputation on this bulletin board)
then there's the really bad, plastic Vito alto clarinet that I play around with but that's another story!!!

Hiroshi,
I 've come across some Nagamatsu mp in Singapore
the design of the bottom of the window seem to be different from other mouthpiece.
wats your opinion of nagamatsu mouthpiece.
I also saw this japanese gadget(some sort of revitaliser??) for the reed. I think from nagamatsu too.
it comes with a short round rod and a groove table. do you have any experience with this gadget

Buffet Festival Bb Soprano, apparently mid 1994 production vintage with no additional customization beyond fixing original defects, reseating a bad Bb trill key pad, and minor key tweaking
Standard Buffet Barrels
Buffet, Vandoren B45 and 5RV Lyre mps, using the B45 almost all of the time
Vandoren regular 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 reeds (prefer 3.0s with some tailoring work done on them)
Vandoren V-12 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 reeds (never have opened the box of 3.5s) ditto reed comment above
Legere reeds equivalent to Vandoren regular 2.5, 2.75 (I believe would match a highly tailored 3.0 in general behavior), and 3.0. Ditto reed comment, in essence favoring the Legere 2.75 reed.
Ordinary metal lig, brand unknown
I like the auxiliary left hand Ab/Eb key on the Festival. I personally believe that it helps me, especially when I'm doing the arpeggio drills from Albert's Scales book and other similar situations.
I only hear from students and amateurs like me about this particular horn, usually with good feedback. I'd like to get feedback from the pros or near pros about this horn.

LeBlanc Symphonie Bb
Rovner Mark III ligature
Selmer HS*
Vandoren 3 1/2 reeds
My backup is a Yamaha 34. I use the HS* mouthpiece and LeBlanc barrel. I'm eager to try out some different mouthpieces. The Selmer mp came with the clarinet. I'm planning on trying out the Vandoren B45 and B46, Pyne Signature Symphonic, and Clark Fobes San Francisco. I enjoy all the information and sharing on this bulletin board. It's great!

Yes I have both.
1)Mouthpiece:very easy to blow and at first I liked it.But after 2-3 months,I found it lacks darkness in tones,and stopped to use it.
2)Gadget:I use that one.It enables reed vibrated freer.
Just my personal opinions.They say many European players use them.
So,I found your mail name means Se=west and an=safe in Chinese.

I just bought a Yamaha Custom SE, couldn't get a Buffet R-13 that moved me.
Yamaha Mouthpiece (couldn't get my B45 to fit snugly) and needs to be upgraded.
Vandoren V-12 2.5-3, or Mitchell Lurie Premium 3-3.5's
Rovner Dark Ligature
I am really impressed by the variety of options. I wonder what a "panel of expert ears" would say about all of these... or is it truely in the "ear of the beholder?"

you r rite abt the kanji charac but the mail name is not part of the 2 charac. I deliberately CAP the A to distinguish from another Sean quite s while back...and it has always stay that way since

Hello, lets bring up something old, these are ALWAYS quite interesting.
My setup is.......
Bb Clarinet-Buffet R13
A clarinet- Buffet R13
Mouthpieces- Standard Richard Hawkins, M13 Profile 88
Reeds-Gonzalez FOF 3.5
Ligatures- Vandoren Optimum (with vertical rails ala bonade. this is my main ligature), Rovner EDII (both flaps and the thicker plate), Rovner Dark (nice for chamber music, but otherwise cannot project) and various other ligs such as olegature, luyben and inverted bonade.
Case (like that matters....LOL)- Buffet Double Pouchette.
Thanks, Aaron

My Bb is an Evette Schaffer (K serial number, so it's the better ones) from 1974. And (in light of the title of this thread) it's name is George. Soon, however, George will take a rest for a good while. (note: the name is not new, I named it shortly after I got it 8 years ago).
Mouthpiece is a Clark Fobes SF CF+.
Ligature is a Rovner Light Alto Sax lig.
Reeds are usually Vandoren V12 size 4.

I may as well join in. My primary instruments are:
Bb: Chadash
A: Chadash
C: Noblet with a Chadash barrel.
Basset clarinet: Chadash
All of these with a Chadash-Hill mouthpiece (gee, that's a surprise!)
Eb: Buffet RC with a Jacobi barrel
D: Leblanc
I play these with a Chedeville or a mouthpiece that I made from a Babbitt blank.
Bass: Leblanc with a Selmer mouthpiece I refaced.
Lamp in my office: Cleveland metal clarinet.
I use this with a 60 watt bulb.
Reeds:
Bb/A/C: Grand Concert Evolution #4 1/2, adjusted
Eb/D: Vandoren Eb #4
Bass: Grand Concert #3
Ligature: Regular Bonade on everything. I usually have my Bb/A ligs gold-plated, which helps them to grip the mouthpiece when I switch back and forth between Bb and A.

Rovner ligature
Basically I have the standard high school set up, even though I was a music major for a year in college back in the day.
I also have a Bettony Cadet metal clarinet I bought for fun, a crappy Yamaha student clarinet with bug-eaten pads used for 8 years of marching(would cost more to fix than worth!) and a mint-condition 1960's era Conn Director Cornet that I bought for $60 at a pawn shop to learn on.

Buffet r-13 vintage Bb, lomax a4 classic mp, gonzalez fof 3 3/4 reeds, a barrel made by allen segal(aka alseg in this forum), pyne handwoven ligature.
If i ever march again(University of Alabama marching band, could be fun, but will i have the time), a buffet b12 with a 5rv mp(somehow i ended up with 2, no idea how), probably with vandoren v-12 4 reeds(might even try that power barrel by the doctor if i have the money to play with).
I would like to get an A, but at the moment i really don't need it and i pretty much dont have the money.
I also want to learn all the other woodwinds(or try at least), to be a good doubler.

Buffet R13 (around serial # 400000...?) with Vandoren M15 mouthpiece, V12 #4 reeds, Rovner Eddie Daniels II ligature without leather flaps over metal plate.
I also use a Buffet/Moennig 66mm barrel instead of the stock one.
Cork pads in upper joint, and the hasty pad for the register key.
My instrument's name is "Buffy".

Well, my list is not as long as some of the others, but I guess I found a couple of instruments that I like :-)
Bb: Selmer Centered Tone (full boehm). It's about twice my age and has been heavily used, but it still sounds and plays great.
A: Selmer Centered Tone Omega. Same age as the Bb, but it has been used much less and is superb. (alas the bell is not the original and doesn't have the fancy engraving).
mouthpiece (the only useable one): Viotto B3
Oh, and of course the old plastic clarinet that I used for outdoor performances (that's quite some time ago now).

Have a change in mine. Just bought a Yamaha CSG (Bb). Splendid intonation and a little bit darker sound. Wonderful. Also bought an Olathe case which is coming in soon.
SomethingCopland: Were you at OU? Morrie said "What kind of person would have 9 sets of clarinets?" in response to Ricardo Morales's vast collection.

Alto Saxophone(s):
Rene Duval: Italian Saxophone found in a pawn shop for $100. non original neck of unknown make marked XIV, fits okay and plays in tune. Decent key action and mellow sound. Metal a little soft.
Yamaha YAS-23: Bought off internet for $75 and repadded. Plays rather bright and clean. Currently in possession of nephew who plays it along with trumpet and snare.
Yanagisawa A880: Gift from folks for college. Great keywork and resonates well. I'd have to pay quite a bit to get a significantly better horn than this
Accessories:
Selmer S80 C*, Vandoren Optimum AL3, Runyon 88, Modern Soloist F
Rovner ligs, Alexander Classique reeds
Tenor:
@1967 Buescher 400. Bought for $600 used from repair man. Big lusty tone. smooth and even throughout range
Accessories: Selmer Metal Classic E, perfected by Kieth Bradbury, Modern Soloist E with two-screw lig. Hemke or Vandoren ZZ reeds.
Baritone:
1915 Buescher Truetone, keyed up to Eb. Bought for $300 from Junkdude.com. Currently in the middle of a refit.
Clarinet:
Bundy 577 #886xxx. Got it off ebay for $60 (just picked one arbitrarily one day after I decided to learn clarinet) Sounds buzzy and horrible compared to my wife's 76x,xxx Bundy. It's case is horrible even without a latch that works improperly.
Noblet 40 #D50xxx. Bought yesterday at a pawn shop for $100. It's in very good shape with no cracks. Needs some work.
Accessories: Brilhart Nilo W. somebody mthpce, Vandoren B46, Woodwind mpc, all with 2screw ligs. Vandoren BB reeds

Bb
*Leblanc LL (1960's - beautiful to play)
*Boosey and Hawkes Emperor (1973 - great lower register tone)
*R. Malerne plateau key (1960's - heavy, LOUD and noisy)
*Noblet Artist (1970's - had since new halfway through restoring)
A
*Boosey and Hawkes Emperor (1968- great lower register tone)
Mouthpieces (favourites anyway)
*B&H 1010 mouthpiece and 2.5-3 Vandoren reed -can't beat the open sound of this with all of the above.
*Vandoren 5RV with Vandoren 3 reed is nice on the Leblanc (and Malerne) if playing with smaller groups.
Ligatures
I mainly use traditional ligatures. My favourite is a sliver plated BH with the upside down lettering - does anyone know why they did this? They went back to correct way up in the 1980's. Experimenting with a BGL6 - seems OK but fiddlier to apply than traditional ones.

"What do you guys who have a gazillion clarinets do with them all, apart from lampstands, that is???"
Good question, one I have always asked myself. Did I really need 14 clarinets? (This number does not include the instruments already converted into lamps.) Especially the ones I knew I would never play again. Last year I traded the 6 worst of my clarinets for a really nice tenor sax. This ratio should give you an idea of the artistic level of the instruments. Even the A clarinet I bought at the Buffet factory in 1968 - gone - sentimentality went out the window.
I needed to clean house, got at the low end of what I wanted for them, but thought - "I could do this and be done with it." My closet thanks me. My wife thanks me. And I am having fun with the tenor.

-Clarinet = Bb Buffet E11 (about 16 years old)
-Mouthpiece = Vandoren 5RV (about 16 years old)--I'm thinking of getting a new one, maybe a different kind (I'm hoping to take lessons soon, and hopefully my teacher can give me some advice in this area--this website is great for that, too)
-Ligature = Luyben
-Reeds = Right now--Mitchell Lurie 3.5 (I have used Vandoren 4's in the past, but its been about 12 years since I played--have to start with a little softer reed)

Many baritones of that day typically were only made with only two palm keys, hence up to Eb instead of F. That kept from having to equip the neck assembly with toneholes and such.
It has had it's silver plate (70%) thoroughly hand polished and cleaned, am trying to get a key that broke on me fixed, and am awaiting pads for replacement.

Shame! I was hoping you'd send me $10 so I can get a takeaway, but at the current exchange rate that'd only cover the rice, but I do need to lose a few pounds (in weight, not in money terms - I waste enough of that buying clarinets off eBay!)

Boosey & Hawkes Imperial 926 Bflat 1978

Both with Ralph Morgan RM10s
Vandoren Optimum and Super Revelation (A) ligatures
Lucian Bassi Bflat, and a Selmer Console B flat
Dolnet M70 Bel Air Tenor Sax. Dodgy tuning low reg flat, upper sharp.
Dolnet Bel Air Alto. Spot on tuning everywhere. Meyer and Link 5/7 star rubber mouthpieces.
King 613 Alto.
Lyriste (A E Sax) Soprano. Very old,only about 2 palm keys. High pitch, but sweet sound. (Does anyone know a Monsieur Briard, soloist with the Band of the Garde Republicaine? Crest and those words engraved on the bell.)
Yamaha SC1200. A thing of utter beauty. High quality finish essential to resist drool damage.
Alexander Heinrich Treble and descant recorders. Plastic, and none the worse for it, Aulos descants and sopranino. A fast swap to the tenor from that feels well weird. And going back, you're looking everywhere for where the neckstrap goes...
(Ahem) Metallic red Westone Raider Bass. A touch ostentatious, and prone to cause one to headbang and throw Signs of the Devil like a Monster of Metal. Nice to play, but folk do tend to stare, somewhat.

I've added an old Boosey and Hawks Bb to my previous inventory list. I want to learn how to repad and recork old clarinets so I bought it to learn how to do these things. It's such a mess so I really have my work cut out for me!!
I'm also just about ready to add a Gigliotti mouthpiece too. I like it!
Lucy Lee.....RC are my initials. It stands for Rebecca Caselman. I get called all kinds of things, though. Becca, Rebecca, AuntBeck, Becky, Beccaba.....mom.... etc.....Oh, and btw... I like your name. My mom's name, Lucile (Lucy) and my dad's name, Lee must have something to do with it. Great names you have, there.
Happy playing,
Becca

Been champing at the bit to join this free-for-all for months; given a slow Sunday afternoon (Nationals and Orioles both getting bombed) I guess I can resist no longer!

Alright, I'll try to remember what I've got lying around:
Flute family:
- Yamaha YFL 674 Flute (0069xx) with standard issue EC head,
- B&H wooden Boehm system Flute (249xx), one-piece body and foot, metal head, ex-Royal Marines,
- Jupiter JAF 1121ES DiMedici Alto Flute (C02xx) with curved and straight heads,
- Yamaha YPC 62 Piccolo (360xx),
- Yamaha YPC 81 Piccolo (117xx) with wood and silver heads, cork padded.
Double reeds:
- Howarth S5 Oboe (45xx) with added thumbplate, kingwood body (new top joint in 1999), PVC bushed 3rd 8ve, trills and C# toneholes, cork padded throughout, Bb and C tuned for Conservatoire fingering,
- Marigaux 930 Cor Anglais (275xx) with added Howarth thumbplate and repositioned 3rd 8ve key, added adjustment screw on top fingerplate, Howarth adjustable thumbrest with sling hook, cork padded throughout,
- Dirk Kloffer Baroque Oboe after Terton, boxwood, 2 keys,
- Dirk Kloffer Baroque Oboe d'Amore after Eichentopf, boxwood, 2 keys,
- Orsi Bassoon, basic Heckel system, bought for £50 at an auction (why not?), original dent-free crook, and it plays very well considering!
Clarinets:
- Vito plastic Eb (020xx), removed cross Eb/Bb key,
- Richard Keilwerth Eb (367xx), German bore Boehm system with forked Eb/Bb, cork padded to F#/C# - F/C and E/B pads in white leather, dreadful tuning problems,
- Buffet R13 Eb, (717xx) awaiting rebuild once I get the keys and pillars back from being plated,
- Lyons plastic C clarinet, bought to do 'Carnival of the Animals', good tuning though the whole instrument is too bendy and plastic keywork is unreliable,
- B&H Marlborough Bb (212xxx) awaiting some nickel plating then full restoration,
- B&H Symphony 1010 Bb (531xxx), plays well but really needs a full overhaul and polish,
- Richard Keilwerth Oehler system (no serial number), 444Hz, it was cheap so I bought it out of curiosity,
- Leblanc LL full boehm (575xx), repadded in cork down to Ab/Eb, brown leather pads from F/C to low Eb, added pillar under throat G# touch, Marigaux adjustable thumbrest (from my cor),
- Selmer Centered Tone N.1 Bb (N84xx), unplated keys, leather pads,
- Selmer Centered Tone N.6 Bb (N69xx) - fully rebuilt, silver plated, PVC bushed toneholes and cork padded down to RH cross B/F#, all new screws,
- Selmer Centered Tone N.6 A (P10xx) - as above
- Selmer Series 9 N.8 Bb (A35xx), fully replated in silver, cork padded to RH cross B/F#, bottom 5 pads in white leather,
- Selmer Series 9 N.8 A (S52xx) in silver plate (original), padded as above,
- Selmer basset horn (879), unplated keys, leather pads (Gordon Beeson), lengthened crook (soldered 6mm length of 15.2mm bore nickel silver tubing inside tenon section), awaiting addition of thumb keys, LH low D lever and floor spike, plays well except now there's no low D key,
- Leblanc Alto Clarinet (43xx), unplated keys, awaiting restoration,
- Leblanc Alto Clarinet (78xx), nickel plated keys, awaiting restoration,
- Buffet Prestige Bass Clarinet to low C (339xx), some keywork modifications - removed LH cross Eb/Bb key, connection from LH 2 to top fingerplate with long adjusting screw, adjusting screw in pillar for top plate venting regulation, bar attached to G# cup to link with RH main action with adjustment for B-C#/F#-G# trills etc.
Clarinet mouthpiece set-ups:
- Vandoren B44 Eb, Rovner lig, Vandoren 2,
- Vandoren 'Profile 88' 5RV Lyre Bb, Rovner lig, Vandoren 2.5 (for CT/Series 9 set),
- Vandoren A1 Crystal, Rovner lig, Vandoren 2.5 (for 1010 & basset horn),
- Selmer C85 120, Rovner Light lig, Reeds Australia Vintage 3 (for Leblanc LL as it lives with my alto sax),
- Vandoren B46 bass, Rovner Light lig, Carbon Toptone Fiberreed MS,
Saxes:
- Yamaha YSS 62 Soprano (27xx), cork padded from C# up to high F#, including cork pads in both 8ves,
- Yamaha YAS 875EX Alto (0106xx), an excellent example of quality workmanship - should be used as an example for all companies to follow, cork pad in lower 8ve,
- Buffet S3 Prestige Alto, copper body, cork pad in lower 8ve, excellent tuning but keywork not as elaborate or as comfortable as the older S1 Prestiges on account of the Keilwerth parts, and too quiet and polite for playing lead alto in Big Bands,
- Yamaha YTS 62 Tenor (0327xx), fully repadded in early August with Premium Deluxe and (mostly) Precision Pads, cork pad in lower 8ve,
- Yamaha YBS 62 Baritone (30xx), Jiffy stand fitted to bell, brass thumb hook (from a YTS 61), cork pad in upper 8ve,
- Wurlitzer C Melody, US built, no front F, original pads.
Sax mouthpiece set-ups:
- Lawton 6*B ebonite Soprano, Plasticover 2.5 (don't laugh!),
- Lawton 7*BB metal Alto, Vandoren Java 2,
- Lawton 6*BBSpecial metal Tenor, Vandoren V16 2,
- Lawton 7*BB stainless steel Baritone, gold plated, Vandoren Jazz 2.5.
- Lawton 7*B metal Soprano, not used much now if at all, a bit too open - the 6* being much more controllable,
- Lawton 7*B metal Tenor, depends how I'm feeling (not that I like playing tenor),
- Lawton 7 ebonite Baritone, alright for sax 4tets but a bit dull for Big Band,
- Dukoff D7 metal Alto, Rovner lig, had a bad day with this once and put the Lawton on and stuck with them ever since.
- Dukoff D8 metal Baritone, Rovner lig, lowered baffle as it was too bright.
I still have some ebonites that I rarely use, if at all (I use Lawtons in orchestral and concert band playing):
- Selmer S80 C* Soprano, metal Yamaha lig and cap,
- Selmer S80 D Alto, Rovner lig,

Hi John,
I generally put a cork pad in the lower octave vent key on saxes (on altos and tenors) as leather pads tend to stick to the octave bush (especially the waterproof treated pads against the laquered or sticky surface of the 8ve bush), except on baritones where I either cork pad the upper octave vent key as it's in a position where there's more condensation, or both (especially on one piece sopranos), depending if both of them tend to stick - this makes the auto octave mechanism switch over quicker, so going from eg. A down to E or D (all in the upper register) is smoother. If the lower 8ve pad sticks there's a slight delay in it opening, and delay in the crook key closing, running the risk of accidentally going into 3rd harmonics when playing E or D, they'll sound B or A instead.
Play A (12O OOO) slurring to D (123 456), both in the upper octave repeatedly to see or hear if this happens. If there is some delay in the 8ve mechanism, you'll just get A and a huskier A instead of the D.
If I could get cork pads 18mm+ of good quality, I'd probably use them in the LH palm keys too! But the largest size cork pads are only about 16mm maximum, octave keys generally being between 9 and 10.5 mm depending on the make.

yeah. This thread does seem kind of old..But I'll go for it. Why not?
I'm saving up for a Buffet RC Eb and a Buffet R-13 A clarinet.
Bb clarinets:
Buffet R-13 (beautiful sound, silver-plated keys)
Buffet E-11 (silver-plated keys)
Buffet B-12 (nickel-plated keys. Marching/pep band)
Beusher piece of crap.
Ligatures:
Rovner Dark
Vandoren Optimum (I mainly use this one.)
BG Tradition (silver-plated. I gave this one to a friend..and I recently tried it again and loved it even more..oh well.)
BG Super Revelation (one of the ribs broke. But it's put under the top rib, and it still works).
Bonade Inverted nickle-plated (I'm letting someone borrow it right now).
Hite ligature
The original Buffet ligature that came with my R-13. I can't find the one that came with my E-11 and B-12. The one that came with the R-13 wasn't half bad.
Ligs I've tried:
Rovner ED ll
Original Harrison ligature gold-plated
I know there's many more.
Reeds:
Vandoren V12s 3.5-4.0s (so far, these are the only ones that work on my mouthpiece)
Gonzalez F.O.F 3.25-3.75
Gonzalez original cuts 3.75
Reeds Australia Vintage 4s. If you get a good one in a box, it's surprising..but that good reed is WONDERFUL!!!
The Vandoren Originals...sometimes (strength 4)
Vandoren 56 Rue Lepics 3.5+ (they worked best on my Hite Premier. They don't fit on the window/reed table to my current mouthpiece)
Peter Ponzol 4s. Absolutely wonderful. I loved them with the Hite D mouthpiece.
Mouthpieces:
Pomarico Crystal mouthpiece. Emerald M model.
Gigliotti facing #4. I dispised that mouthpiece with a passion. It was too resistant. I couldn't find a right reed strength for it. A hard reed was crap on it, a soft reed gave me an extremely bright sound, and a medium reed was too resistant with it. Too bright for my taste. Sorry to all of you Gigliotti fans!
I'm soon going to get an Eddie Daniels mouthpiece.
Hite Premier...my favorite along side of the Pomarico Crystal.
Hite D model. I liked it with a good reed. But it had a pretty bright sound. (In my opinion)
Vandoren B45. It plays surprisingly well.
Grabner CXZ_K11. I love this mouthpiece. Incredibly response and warmth of tone.
Barrel:
The standard R-13 Barrel. (When I first got my R-13, I didn't like the barrel because it always played 20 cents flat..ew. and now that it's settled down, it's normal. And it has a really good sound).
Original click barrel. It was okay...I could NEVER figure out how to change the length...until one day..On accident, I just moved it. It's good for marching band.

OK, here's a bit of a different list from the "auxillary" clarinet player.
Eb
Buffet Prestige, absolutely great horn
Fobes and Grabner Mouthpieces
Cut-down 3.5-4 VanDoren Bb reeds
Rovner Dark Ligature
R13 (back up horn)
Alto
Leblanc Paris (2)
several mouthpieces, one from Grabner used most often
Rovner ligature
VanDoren 2.5-3 reeds
Bassett horn
Leblanc
same m'pieces and equipment as for the altos
Bass Clarinet
Selmer to low C
several mouthpieces (Grabner, VanDoren)
Grand Concert Reeds, 2.5-3
Also have a Rigoutat oboe and English horn, Loree oboe d'amore' and Schreiber contrabassoon. Most of my concert gigs are for an "odd" clarinet or something in oboe family.
Actually the list up to now was interesting as I expected a total Buffet domination but we've got people playing every model and agew of horn out there.

Ho, took you quite a while to count, Eu, no? ![[wink]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smilie3.gif)
Bb:
Amati 314 lookalike, 3/4 boehm (sans the low Eb), older model.
Amati 211, relegated to good weather outdoor gigs
Amati 201, bad weather outdoors
C:
Amati 251
For all these I have two Hite Premieres, a Fobes Debut and a Michell Lurie Premium with Rovner Dark + MkIII ligs.
Alto:
Bundy, with Geo.Bundy/Spiegelthal HR mpc (Yamaha 4C as replacement), Rovner Dark
These are just my "regular" horns; there are some projects awaiting new pads in the attic.
Hmm. Anyone with a spare Amati Alto and/or Bass?

Ben, it isn't like GBK's collection of R13's, any one of which would cost more than my entire investment (less than $2,000) in clarinets! I also have at any given time about a dozen student Bb clarinets that I give away to members of our community band in need of a horn to squawk. Eu

Vito Altos are far from being environmentally inert. The best place to properly dispose of them is to send 'em here. Ah'll take care of it.

Mr/Ms (forgive me) Koo Young Chung, you'll have to update your tally a little. I had the Evette Shaffer, and still love that clarinet. But I'm now using an RC from 1983 as my main instrument.
Buffet RC
Clark Fobes 4L (refaced for me slightly)
V12 3.5 reeds
Backun bell, Morales Backun barrel
Ligatures vary depending on my mood. Luyben, Bay covered gold, Spriggs, and Harrison gold.

Ha ha! Thanks, Steve.
I actually kind of thought that's what this thread was at first glance.
In which case, I'd have to answer:
Buffet R-13, "Felix"
After a Mendelssohn Duo Concerto that suffered horrible squeaks and squawks at a high school solo and ensemble event many years ago.
I was only 14 and had gotten the horn about a month prior. I didn't realize that just before going into the performance room, I'd bumped a key and turned a screw just a teeeeeeny tiny bit and a pad on the upper joint wasn't closing. So some notes wouldn't sound, they would just SQUEEEEAK!
I was so confused and mortified. This had never happened before! I assumed that my own nervousness was causing the squeak. (Afterwards, a kind teacher saw me in tears in the hall, examined my horn, pointed out the loose screw, and fixed it.)
A year later, the judge from that duet wound up being my private lesson teacher. He was a professor at a local university, and I was deemed worthy of his tutelage after my own teacher (one of his college students) graduated.
Through high school and college, I studied with him, and we had a running joke. I would tell him I was thinking of playing the Mendelssohn and he'd mock shudder.
I still have Felix. It's still a great horn. And it never did that loose screw thing ever again.
I take great pleasure in torturing reeds once they're reached the end of their useful life.

I found that I posted in this thread about two years, and I noticed all my equipment is pretty much the same (I changed to some less expensive ligatures and stick with only one reed brand).
Names - not the most original but my Bb is Clarni and my bass is Clarnibass, who suggested I make my username after him as I would probably not think of it myself.

Neil's stable of foxy little horns:
Candy - LeBlanc Pete Fountain with articulated C#/G# and fork Eb/Bb,
O'Brien 5 mouthpiece, shoelace ligature, Grand Concert Select
Evolution #2 1/2 reed
Lady Day - My dad's stencil from the '20's, Kalashen's Kleartone
Stephanie - My Vito from the '60's, she was out of my possession for a
number of years and in her travels inexplicably acquired a
58mm Otto Link barrel which I replaced with a Vega Co. spare
barrel from Lady Day (it was a real sloppy fit on Lady Day,
reamed out the lower socket and it fit fine on Steph), Yamaha
4C mouthpiece
Jeannie - $10 EBay special, unknown manufacturer but fairly robust
construction, changed some pads and corks, added a Hite
Premiere mouthpiece and she plays pretty well.

I have only two clarinets, one for marching and regular class, while the other is mainly used for concert rehearsals, ensembles, and concerts
This is Bb, if it matters
Buffet B12
Just your standard beginner's clarinet, only difference is that I use Vandoren V12's(3-4) and Rovner Ligature
Funny thing is that with this clarinet, as a current freshman at high school, I sound better then a Senior with a professional clarinet
The other one I use
*Buffet Tosca
*Silver keys with gold trimmings
*Vandoren M30 13 mouthpiece (I know there's been a bit of a... arguement on other threads about this mouthpiece, but I can honestly say it matches my needs and sound then any of the other mouthpieces I've tried. One of the main compliments I've gotten is that I have my own, unique sound. I've also managed to get rid of the slight shrill that comes with this mouthpiece, or maybe that's just me)
*It's actually wood, unlike my B12
*I'm using a Buffet Chadash Barrel
*Vandoren Rue Lepics 3-5, depending on what I'm playing
(Yeah, There's been a lot of arguements over this one too, I don't know, I was able to tell an immediate difference in quality of my tone with this reed, it's a great reed and, IMO, really outclasses the Traditionals or the V12's. I recommend these reeds to everyone, although that's just me, as everyone's style is different)
All in all, I prefer my Tosca over the B12, really great tone, as a slight... I don't know how to put it... golden glow to it I guess. It just stands out, and it has great projection, looks really professional, and the response is superb.
But that's just my set-up.

Leblanc Ambiance w/ stock barrel. Luyben and hemp cord ligatures.
Vandoren #4's. And no I very seldom modify my reeds, I simply play them for a day and they usually play good the next day. I use a vandoren B45 mouthpiece, but I'm looking for an upgrade.
I aslo have an old evette that serves as my backup.
Selmer contra-alto:
Vandoren #3 reeds and cheap metal ligature.
I've never had to try different set ups to achieve a good sound on contra-alto.

I use a Yamaha 34. I don't actually own it, it's a borrowed school horn. For marching I have a Selmer something or another (plastic, of course). I have a Gigliotti mouthpiece with the P34 facing. It gives a more focused sound for me. I use a Vandoren Klassik string lig. and anywhere from Vandoren trad. 3s to Vandoren V12 4s (and lots of places in between) depending on the climate conditions/how I'm feeling/what I'm playing.

Walter Grabner "Lawrie Bloom" Mouthpiece
Bonade inverted cut-out nickel-plated Lig (might be getting an Optimum)

When I play Bb, I have an old Vito, and a Buffet E11, with vandoren 5rv and b45 mpcs, and a rovner dark lig. I use a few different reed brands, usually VD 3.5 or Rico Reserve 3.5's.

Bunday, $1 horn from a garage sale that my in-laws picked up for me. It needs pads, but the case is great.

Bb -2005 R13, ML mouthpiece from the 50s
A - 1998 R13, ML mp
Eb - Noblet Artist from ebay
C - Marcel Deleau, imported by Baxter Northrup, ML mp
Eb Alto - Leblanc from ebay, Selmer C* mp
F Basset Horn - Selmer series 9 from ebay, old Selmer mp
Bb Bass - 2008 Buffet 1193, Selmer C* mp
Eb Contra Alto - Bundy from ebay, Selmer C* mp
All use Rovner ligatures, V12 or standard VD reeds #3, and stock barrels, how boring! All except the bass have been overhauled and tuned as best possible, with all mouthpieces refaced. The basset horn likes softer reeds, however and I do what it tells me to do.

B flat: Yamaha something-or-other, the ligature starts with an L but I can't place the name at the moment, and Vandoren 56 Rue Lepic Reeds size 3,5+
B flat: Buffet 1967 R13, the same lig as above, same reeds, rico pad savers, rico mouthpiece saver, vandoren apple blossom scented cork grease (^.^)
E flat: Weimer plastic something-or-other, a junky un named lig, and Vandoren Traditional reeds sized 3,5
E flat: Buffet 1890 wooden clarinet, homemade string lig, vandoren Traditional reeds sized 3,5 and rico pad and mouthpiece savers. Oh, and Vandoren grease.
My Bari Sax: Jupiter something-or-other (it has lots of numbers in it it is like an intermediate model), Jupiter mp, Silk swab (jupiter), Vandoren Traditional size 3 (for concert band), and Vandoren ZZ Jazz sized 3 and 2,5 for jazz band.
I love my vandorens, so far no problems. I've even bumped my ZZ's on my head a couple times (going back and forth from clarinet to bari I forget I have to watch where the mp is pointed :P ) and I believe the ZZ's to be indestructable. I bumped it on my teeth and head three times today (it was a sleepy day in bari land) and not a thing, it is still in perfect condition.

Ewwww... most of you guys are classical players... and how is it that you have more than one Buffet!? They're costly enough as it is!
R-13(Lily as I like to call her)
B45 Mouthpiece with the little harp on it and and Eddie Daniels II ligature..I use a variety of reeds, ranging from Rico (Some of us aren't made of money ya' know) to Vandorens. I've had a steady influx of money recently so I've bought every single kind of vandoren on 3 (Except for 56 Lepic Rue, those are 3 1/2) and I use them depending on my mood.

Oh heck, I'll keep this thing going. All I'm doing is watching football today, my team already won today and made the playoffs. It's January 2010, who knows how long this thing will keep going, it began in 1999.
Buffet Eb, only one model in 1960- Selmer C** MP
Selmer Signature Bb, four years old, it's my regular Bb now. Ralph Morgan MP
Buffet Bb and A clarinet, R13 model both bought in the 1960s
Selmer low C bass clarinet, model 51 or 53, I think, it desn't say. Purchased in 1967. Gold plated bell and neck. Selmer C* - Dave Mc Clune MP
I use Rico Grand Concert Thick Blank and Reserves Bb clarinet reeds #4s as well as making my own, pretty good too, sometimes.
On bass I use Rico Grand Concerts #3.5 and some left over Vandoren #4 from years past.
On Eb I use Bb clarinet reeds that I cut down to fit, whatever works.
Backun bells and barrels for all my Bb and A clarinets.
Ligatures, I use an assortment of Rovner ligatures, different ones for each clarinet and have changed models often as he upgrades or comes out with new models. He sends me them when he makes changes to get my opinion and I change when I like a newer model better then what I've been using. (right now my bass is made of white leather, it's cool)

Adrian,
Have you asked Andrew's permission to post that info?? Another major London player had his instruments stolen. Not the C or the bass that were with them, just the Bb and A.
This info is public domain so anyone can access it. Just a thought.

Well of course - if you want to steal instruments then you'd go to where they are ... there's no permission needed to figure that out. If I can figure out what you're playing in public I am most certainly allowed to write about it - your permission is not needed.

"Because that's where the money is." -- attributed to Willie Sutton ... who never said it.

Of course but I only mentioned it out of courtesy for the player. There's really no need to get pedantic about it.

I read here maybe 2 years ago or something that Andrew Marriner played on 15 year old Buffet Festivals and were then looking for something to replace them. Now Lomax has come out with the Andrew Marriner model which he developed with him at Howarth in London. I would guess that he is playing that mouthpiece.

Peter,
Andrew knew that his setup list was for our board. There was a thread going at the time asking if anyone had any real information on what he was playing.
It looks like the Lomax has replaced his B45.

Hi Adrian,
I see. No problem, I just thought it might be a valid point but will keep quiet in future.
All the best

Hello all
I've put this off, but I've read with interest all the "equipment" owned:
Pearl flutes (2) closed and open holes with low b joint and several heads
Uebel flute - aluminium
Buescher pic - silver throughout
Alto flute - no maker's name but plays well
Oboes 2 Marigaux (1966 & 1974, dual system) 1 Kreul - thumbplate 1960
Lorée Oboe d'amore
Oehler, Ward & Winterbourne, Rudall Carte English horns
Oboe d'accacia early 18th century
Corton Eb clt
Leblanc C clt
Wurlitzer German system - pair
Albert fils Albert system - pair
Selmer metal Bb
Alto Clt - Bundy
Selmer Bass to C
Sopranino sax - Yanagisawa
Soprano saxes(2) Yanagisawa and Buescher
Alto Saxes (2) Yanagisawa and Selmer
Tenor Saxes (2) Yanagisawa
Baritone Sax - Selmer
Bassoon - Huller
Contra bassoon Amati
Recorders - Garklein to Bass
I used to play a lot of shows but now I just play orchestral and some chamber music. Oboe is main instrument but I do quite a lot of Contra bassoon.
Best wishes
Leigh

Just picked up 2 "new" mouthpieces:
"Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche", "Maximilian Berlitz"
And a new literature
"…I love flowers I’d love to have the whole place swimming in roses God of heaven there’s nothing like nature the wild mountains then the sea and the waves rushing then the beautiful country with fields of oats and wheat and all kinds of things and all the fine cattle going about that would do your heart good to see rivers and lakes and flowers all sorts of shapes and smells and colours springing up even out of the ditches primroses and violets nature it is as for them saying there’s no God I wouldn’t give a snap of my two fingers for all their learning why don’t they go and create something I often asked him atheists or whatever they call themselves go and wash the cobbles off themselves first then they go howling for the priest and they dying and why why because they’re afraid of hell on account of their bad conscience ah yes I know them well who was the first person in the universe before there was anybody that made it all who ah that they don’t know neither do I so there you are they might as well try to stop the sun from rising tomorrow the sun shines for you he said the day we were lying among the rhododendrons on Howth head in the grey tweed suit and his straw hat the day I got him to propose to me yes first I gave him the bit of seedcake out of my mouth and it was leapyear like now yes 16 years ago my God after that long kiss I near lost my breath yes he said was a flower of the mountain yes so we are flowers all a woman’s body yes that was one true thing he said in his life and the sun shines for you today yes that was why I liked him because I saw he understood or felt what a woman is and I knew I could always get round him and I gave him all the pleasure I could leading him on till he asked me to say yes and I wouldn’t answer first only looked out over the sea and the sky I was thinking of so many things he didn’t know of Mulvey and Mr Stanhope and Hester and father and old captain Groves and the sailors playing all birds fly and I say stoop and washing up dishes they called it on the pier and the sentry in front of the governors house with the thing round his white helmet poor devil half roasted and the Spanish girls laughing in their shawls and their tall combs and the auctions in the morning the Greeks and the Jews and the Arabs and the devil knows who else from all the ends of Europe and Duke street and the fowl market all clucking outside Larby Sharans and the poor donkeys slipping half asleep and the vague fellows in the cloaks asleep in the shade on the steps and the big wheels of the carts of the bulls and the old castle thousands of years old yes and those handsome Moors all in white and turbans like kings asking you to sit down in their little bit of a shop and Ronda with the old windows of the posadas glancing eyes a lattice hid for her lover to kiss the iron and the wineshops half open at night and the castanets and the night we missed the boat at Algeciras the watchman going about serene with his lamp and O that awful deepdown torrent O and the sea the sea crimson sometimes like fire and the glorious sunsets and the figtrees in the Alameda gardens yes and all the queer little streets and pink and blue and yellow houses and the rosegardens and the jessamine and geraniums and cactuses and Gibraltar as a girl where I was a Flower of the mountain yes when I put the rose in my hair like the Andalusian girls used or shall I wear a red yes and how he kissed me under the Moorish wall and I thought well as well him as another and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes."
Ohhhh, Li-GA-ture... my bad.
