 Re: A good marching clarinet.

I still think my Bundy Eb or piccolo suggestion had merit. I'll bet if you marched a couple of ranks of effers, they would be heard--just like you can always hear a couple of good pics over all the brass & percussion. Another possibility that a lot of "modern" marching bands are overlooking these days would be the glockenspiel. We even used to have a summertime competative band march regularily at the South Milwaukee Spectical of Music that featured a rank of bagpipes. And the contribution to the total sound of the field presentation was astounding. IMHO, Bb clarinets just are not capable of competing with the type of sound modern marching bands work for and to worry about the quality of one's clarinet, reed or mouthpiece is a total waste of time. Find a cheap plastic clarinet--I recommend Bundy's but even a CSO will do just fine--and keep in step while you pretend to play. That's all you need to do.
