Re: CSVR vs CSG

In this video Melbourne Symphony principal clarinetist David Thomas has some perceptive remarks on why he switched from a popular French brand of clarinet to Yamaha . Some takeaways are 1) He was trained in Vienna and interested in the Viennese approach to playing: 2) He initially switched to the CSG Yamaha which he perceives as having a warm, Germanic sound; 3) He later switched to the SE Artist Yamaha model because he found it offered not only the warmth of the CSG but also the power to cut through the orchestra easily and be heard.

Not everyone will have the same preferences or needs or even the same perceptions, but Thomas' insights should be of interest to any player considering switching (or not switching) to Yamahas.

One of the best sounding recitals on Yamaha clarinets I have heard is Patrick Morgan's at the ClarinetFest2021: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=patrick+morgan+clarinet+fest2021+recital. Mr. Morgan is principal clarinet in the President's Own US Marine Band. Does anybody recognize which model of Yamaha he is playing?
