Hi,

I double a good bit on alto and clarinet for shows.

On clarinet, I use a Borbeck 16 (pretty hard to find), a Rico Reserve (X10), or a beat up VD B45. All are pretty open. For the alto, a Meyer 7M or a classic Selmer Soloist E; I played the Selmer E all through college and in the military. However, for classical work, I use a Selmer Soloist C* or VD V2.

The V2s I own are really old and also hard to find but are terrific MPs. There is probably a new VD Mp similar to the V2. I've just never tried to find it.

If I had to pick just one MP to use, it would be either the Selmer E or Meyer 7M. I can make either one work in any setting. Ligatures are always original Harrison's and I am making friend with Legere' reeds.

HRL

PS My altos are a Mark VI and Super Series I.
