Watch this movie last night and found it very interesting. It is the life store told from the violin point of view.
Does anyone have an interesting story that goes along with thier Clarinet. i know that most of us have newer horns--i.e. 20 years or less, but history is made in a day.
peace

I saw that movie earlier this summer. It was thoroughly captivating. It will be interesting to read of a clarinet that has had an eventful life.

I have a clarinet that has crossed the equator 22 times and has survived Kamikaze attack more than once. It belonged to my father during WWII, when he served on the battleship Maryland. Later than that, it survived my playing through grade school and into jr. high...perhaps more traumatic even than the war.

I saw that movie too. My older plastic horn survived both my mom & I playing it through school. I don't think we are quite as interesting as "The Red Violin."

I have noted that in the past a number of cats whom reside with clarinet players have posted to the BB...
I somehow suspect that I should suspect these kitty cats point of view of a clarinet's life however.

A guy named Willie who posts messages from time to time keeps his horn in his pickup truck. His horn may not be red, but I'll bet it can tell a few stories. Willie, are you out there?

I read in Rossi's homepage, his clarinet design was inspired by a Koktan clarinet used by Leopord Urach.
Who made that red violin? Amati,Strad,Garinelli? Maybe Amati.(not that manufacturer now selling various instruments.)

My clarinet is ancient- well, it's at least 80 years old. My father bought it used several decades ago. It has an unknown past, including what kind of clarinet it is- nobody can tell. All of the writing on it is in French and has mostly worn off so nobody can read it, except the part that says "Made in France" None of my teachers have a clue what brand it is, they probably don't exist anymore.
AS you can see, my clarinet has a mysterious past!

Thanks for your story. I bet you plan on keeping this clarinet. It may not have a name but it has great value and a great present and a great future.

Like all collectors, I have some insts which certainly have a long [as much as 180 years] history , an old German Eng. Horn, an old 8 key wooden flute, a Full Boehm Bb with roller [long] keys. What stories lie there hidden?? Don

Hi....
I went to school with a girl, who played the flute..
her brother and I were best friends......we all graduated in 77 and about 4 years ago, at a yard sale, they had a flute for sale.... only $15.00.... it caught my eye, because on the front of the case, was a name doen in white out.... it was my friends sisters flute.... it had traveled from wichita kansas, thru-out the usa, and possibly germany, and ended up in california, and now back to kansas... was going to have it ovrhauled, and give it back to her at the reunion.... the cost was prohibitive...cheaper to purchase a new flute..... oh well...
