Re: Yamaha CSG powerful enough?

What drew me to the CSG in the first place at the 2007 ClarinetFest was the wonderful color and focus in the sound I was able to generate from it. I'd been doing a whole bunch of barrel and mouthpiece experiments with my R-13 to get the sound that I wanted, and then this Yamaha comes out of nowhere and does exactly what I want, "out of the box." Oh, and the intonation was ridiculously good.

The CSG is an amazing clarinet. It's not everyone's cup of tea, and when they stick their mouthpiece + reed combo that sounds good on their R-13 on it, it's invariably a bit too bright. But when one takes the time to discover what works on it, the rewards are worth it.
