Fellow clarineters. Honestly, am I strange to miss my buffet that is in the shop. I'm practicing on an Artley because my older Selmer needs fixin' too. It seems that I miss breathing life into that inanimate piece of wood and making the best music I can possibly make. If this message seems wierd just dismiss it and carry on, Thanks!

Dennis,
You are ok...it is like having to eat a burger instead of the prime rib you are used to.

Ok in my book. I remember breaking in my R-13 and still having to play my old plastic beast some at the time to get enough practice time in. The comparison was like night and day.

I guess I'll feel the same when I get my set of Vintages in the beginning of August, along with a set of Scott barrels and mpcs, I'll miss my R13 (precious) but not for long!

Dennis -
I'm not sure about an Artley, but with my good mouthpiece and barrel, I make "my" sound on a Bundy or a Vito. In fact, I make my sound on a beat-up Morgan mouthpiece, a Legere reed and an ancient Lyric by Pedler that I keep by my computer. It's not that everything below the barrel is irrelevant, but it's you that can tell the difference, not the audience.
Best regards.
Ken Shaw

I've never heard a Buffet described as an "inanimate piece of wood" before. Interesting description.
