Re: Alto Clarinet ...REBORN

I've been thinking about this all week. While some here have reservations (based on their experience, and they may be legitimate) I can see that you started this experiment with some interesting ideas and theory.
I'd really love to be able to gauge your innovative mouthpiece development, but at the risk of sounding rude, it's not possible to do so from the recording posted above.
- we need to hear an accomplished player who can execute a chromatic scale with even tone and rhythm. Plus some musical extracts that utilise varied dyamics and articulations.
- it would be most useful to THEN hear the same performer play the same music but on a standard Alto mouthpiece so we have a basis for comparison.
You're obviously someone with good intentions who has come up with a pretty smart idea, I'd love to support that rather than try to drag you down just because you dared to do something a bit different. Maybe someone on this board within the US could be given the opportunity to independently assess your mouthpiece? (Hank Lehrer- I don't know if you play alto, maybe you know a good Alto player among your colleagues?)
Other than living in NZ, I actually won't have access to my Alto until October this year (it's traveled to Germany without me) so I can't really take on this job....
