Re: Tips for Finding a Matching R13 A Clarinet

I personally find it much more difficult to find a good A than Bb. So when I am shopping instruments, I always look for the A first and the Bb to follow.

Yes Yamaha does an excellent job with their A clarinets, and they feel more like a Bb than other brands.

For me, I don't want the A clarinet to spread in tone especially in the long-tube notes. So if it holds the sound, and tunes well, you are doing well.

Also make sure the A clarinet responds okay in the upper LH.
