So let's get not too nerdy geeky here but please feel free if you are a jazz clarinet player to share your equipment preferences. I have found that what works for classical cats doesn't always work for me in a true jazz situation or B-way show band type setting......
I myself, while I own two very nice Buffet R-13's, one a Prestige, carry around daily my Yamaha plastic clarinet with a couple of Fobes delrin barrels, 64 and 65 mm. The clarinet has been equipped with cork pads and the spring tensions have all been dialed in, and it plays a little sharper and is not flat when temp's are cool. Frankly it sounds terrific as I've recorded on it, and my buddy Perry Robinson has one and he loves it too. I also have a couple of Fobes custom made mouthpieces that are a lot less resistant than what he usually makes. I think that's his 3L facing on there, and I usually find that Vandoren V12 #3's work just fine on them.......
