Re: Doubts about new clarinet

I think you're right there Karl, and I'm finding it's much more the case with the clarinet than with the violin and piano which were my previous attempts at music learning.

fwiw, our family clarinet sat unused in a cupboard for decades because none of us could work out how to get a sound out of it. With the violin and piano that would definitely not be a problem. I got quite solidly to grade 1 violin self-taught by from watching the tv close-ups of an orchestra.

As I'm working through the grades on clarinet I'm finding that each new skill shows up the shortcomings of my clarinet, and then suddenly becomes possible when the equipment is set up right. I'm really fortunate to live cycling distance from an independent woodwind shop where they give me great advice and can always sell me the part that will get me over the new hurdles. I can't imagine having got anywhere near this far without their advice.
