Re: E-flat clarinets in plastic

Are you talking to me!?! :>) Ok--failed attempt at morning humor......the answer is, yes. In fact, I played my Yamaha 681 with the Fobes extension in our BJSO symphony last evening and the conductor said, "Very nice". In my opinion, the mouthpiece is EVERYTHING. What I am using is a vintage Selmer HS** with a cut-down Forestone 3.5 reed and an original Winslow lig. It plays especially well in the altissimo range for me, unlike my custom Charles Bay mpc or the stock Yamaha that came with the horn. My extension would not fit my Bundy nor would I really find it necessary as the scales is quite even over the break--at least on my old instrument. That number is most likely the serial as the Bundys do not have "model" numbers.
