 Re: What Separates Average Tone from Exceptional?

Some closing thoughts for Exiawolf.

I know two people whose tone quality really moves me. One is Emily on clarinet and the other is Paul on flute. Both have music degrees from smaller state universities not conservatories. Both play semi-professionally and are doublers like me.

However, Paul's sax and clarinet tone is very ordinary. And Emily's tone on sax is just OK. So, in this case there does not seem to be transference of a great tone by a player to other woodwind instruments. For the doublers out there, do you have great tone on all your doubles?

I sound very good on sax and clarinet and just so-so on flute. But even after all the time I have played, I am still focused on improving my clarinet and sax tone but realize that flute will probably not change much.

A final note: Trying to quantify how one achieves an exceptional tone is like try to grab smoke!
