Re: Seven minutes 33 seconds of Andreas O

Very enjoyable seven minutes and thirty-three seconds. After hearing him on the Tosca solo, I'd like to hear his Siegfried Idyll. Between 1:43 and 1:45, the etching on the mouthpiece pretty clearly shows the words "Play Easy," even though the red coloring has worn away. So he's still playing a Play Easy German mouthpiece by Kuckmeier. Does anyone know the bore size of the Kronthaler clarinet he's using?

I wonder if his observation that greater resistance in a clarinet requires more breath support and therefore produces a darker, rounder sound applies generally to all clarinets or is just the approach used by some Viennese makers to achieve that tonal quality.
