Re: Resistance across the clarinet family

I've been "lurking" here, in hopes of some definitions of resistance and other [related?] "playing characteristics" of the various sized/pitched cls. I usually play bass in our comm band, if another B Cl'ist is available, I play alto, and play sops for fun/repair-tuning. IMHO, each size cl has a "resistance spectrum" with various mps and reeds [? also cl makes, bore-related?]. I generally prefer wider tips and softer reeds capable of good clarion-chalameau playing, but not the infrequent altissimo, and med-to-low "resistance" to be able to legato-attack at pp levels, important for bass IMHO. So, for me, it all depends on my feelings re: my sounds. HELP ! Don

Thanx, Mark, Don
