 Who writes this nonsense??

Here is a quote from a review regarding the Vandoren B45 profile 88.

"The mouthpiece is also a good tool for those who want to work on air support. Because of the medium tip opening and facing combined with the large chamber this mouthpiece takes a lot of air to play. I mean it, it will suck the wind out of you, but in a good way."

Here is the link to the review,

You can buy mouthpieces on Amazon?

I especially like the comment about being able to project from the back of the concert hall. I've played antiphonal brass parts in the back of a venue but have never heard of antiphonal clarinet parts. This is just plain goofy.

These encomiums are undboutedly written by the same marketing firm that successfully sells false teeth by mail order.

LonDear,

The Clarinet Concerto by Corigliano has three antiphonal clarinet parts. Creates a great effect within the hall and with the soloist.

Aren't these the kind of clarinet accessories that are promised to be desreetly mailed to the buyer's home in a plain brown wrapper?

Yup, our modern? world is blessed??? by all sorts of garbaage, which affords opportunity for close reading followed by much disregard and humor. The shoe salesman comment makes me recall some of that fine [perhaps subtle] Music Man humor/laughs. Don

Thanx, Mark, Don

Much better! But remember, the false teeth come in one size only, as in "one size fits all."

LOL!

"He don’t know one note from another that’s what’s wrong with that! And he can’t tell a bass drum from a pipe organ! I’ll catch up with that swindlin’ two-bit thimble rigger, and when I do I’ll squeal on him so loud!"

Peter,

The Corgliano sounds very interesting. I'll look around for it. Maybe I can give up brass now!

Darn it all, I've been playing in a professional orchestra for 48 years and I never realized I should have been using the B45 instead of what I now use. I guess it's never too late to change, is it? I just didn't know. ESP http://eddiesclarinet.com

In my last year at CCM Stoltzman played the Corigliano with the Cincinnati Symphony. When i saw Ron Aufman come in the side door at the back (dressed in his concerts duds) i thought he must be wanting to hear RS play, then thought... hmmmm why does he have a clarinet with him????
Of course- he was there to play the antiphonal bits, only having listened to this work on CD i had not been aware of this aspect of the piece.
dn

ps- i'm fairly certain none of the clarinet players involved in the performance that night were using a B45...
