The Clarinet BBoard

Re: M15 or M15-13?

Author: clarnibass  Date:   2006-08-23 17:04 David is right. One of the things you just can't know without trying is if you need the regular Vandoren or 13 series. On my clarinets (one being a R13) the 13 series Vandoren is just too flat and impossible to play at all (at least the five I tried). To claim that a mouthpiece will be exactly 440 or 442 is even more rediculous than to claim the type of plating determines the sound of a saxophone It is the mouthpiece, reed, clarinet, and most important the player who contribute to the exact tuning that a certain setup gives. As always when talking about intonation, I recommend reading what Peter Eaton writes on his website, and especially the part in Jack Brymer's book "Clarinet" that he mentions there.
