Re: E flat clarinet very flat

I started playing saxophone in 1966. I learned flute and Clarinet by 1969. I played from 6th grade to a the end of College. In college I was the lead alto sax in the jazz band, the First chair Clarinet in the concert band, I played flute and oboe for the community orchestra, and I sang.

Afterward I stayed in the community band, but I started sprouting hernias.

I gave up playing reeds because of my health. I learned about Electronic Wind Instruments in 2016, and took up the EWI. After a couple of years on the EWI tried to pick up a clarinet again. I have a saxophone which I can get noise out of, and I have an Eb which I picked up for fun, but my main instrument is a 100 year old "Pedler" from Elkhart, Indiana. it has been overhauled and plays beautifully.

I play in 3 community bands (Third Clarinet) and in Church.

To be very honest, I play the Eb to create the possibility of having a short solo once in a while, something that won't happen now. It's fun, but it's a novelty.
