hi.
do anyone know someone who plays on these exciting horns?
as the descriptions said its a blend between the american bore and french fingering. the best of two worlds. maybe done for the swedish market. lol. atleast a lot of swedes are playing french style but are making their sound darker by using american mpcs... :P

American bore? You mean an R13 bore?
I thought Americans invariably play French clarinets!

the LR most likely is his initials. i guess because its his invention to combine the two different styles.
american bore is the word used on his webpage and therefor i use it. but i guess its the r13 bore. hi deffines some differences between the bore styles aswell. intresting reading.
i guess that the american/french/english/german names for the bores are much easier to use than any other. and nowdays more makers are the r13 boredesign so its probably more rigth to define it as "american" instead of "r13"..
so no one knows a LRplayer then?

For nearly 4 years I have been playing on Luis Rossi clarinets - my instruments have a wide bore, apparently modelled on 1938 Boosey and Hawkes 1010, and are Boehm system. The body is in one piece with the c/g sharp hole on top and an additional throat b-flat hole to improve tone quality and intonation. I bought the instruments second-hand and have enjoyed playing on them since then. On looking at the Rossi website, I am aware that Luis Rossi makes a number of different models of clarinet with different bores and also German system instruments.
Have you played on Rossi clarinets yourself? What type of clarinet is most favoured in Sweden?

hi kenneth
i have never tried one, thats why i made this thread but i am going to in a couple of weeks. its gonna be very intresting and i look forward to it!!!
in sweden most people are veey conservative with thier equipment. most of them play on BC festival or prestigue, and uses vandoren mpc and reeds..
not at all bad, but kind of boring..
some players who have been outside of sweden to learn the craft are ofcourse "enlighted" and uses other brands, but they are very rare..
the sound in sweden are on the other hand different from many other european countries, and tend more towards the amercian sound than the french or english. most typhical is ofcourse mr fröst. hi's a hole different chapter, but i think many swedes are aiming at the same kind of sound he has.

Hi Niclas,
Do all Swedes play Boehm system or is there any tradition of German system in Sweden?
Kenneth.

the royal court chapell was playing on boehm wurlitzers some years ago, (i dont know if they still do now..) but that is as close as it gets i think. alphie, do you know?
there was a tradition amongst folkmusicians to play on german or.. albert(?) system during the first half of the 1900s, but the people who did is either dead(or soon to be) or playing the boehmsystem.
even handmade woodenhorns more alike the chalumeu was around, which was called a clarinet, was used during the 1800 and early 1900s..
i am not that old so i dont know what fashions there was in the past on the classical side of sweden. havent read that far yet. but i will when i get the time.
