 Re: Lost In Equipment (What Should I Do?)

The late French clarinetist Jacques Lancelot said he couldn't understand the present-day "embarras de choix" when it came to equipment. He himself, he said, had always played a Vandoren 5RV mouthpiece, Vandoren number 3 reeds and a Buffet RC clarinet. That was his sound and his identity; take it or leave it. It may have been his sound, but it wasn't necessarily the sound suited to the music he was playing. These days, we wouldn't like our Debussy to sound like our Brahms. Switching equipment certainly facilitates this search for a distinctive tone and colour for each piece we play. Technically speaking, I also agree with Mr. Pay: it gives you greater flexibility.
