How did you find out about the Bill Smith mute? Is it listed on the record sleeve? Who's Bill Smith?

Stuart - after all you've said you don't know who William O. "Bill" Smith is? I'm shocked to say the least! He was an "inventor" of new, wild sounds - especially multiphonics (double & triple)!

Do a quick check on the Web - starting with the Dave Brubeck Octet & "Schizophrenic Scherzo", a song mixing classical & jazz, the first of the "third stream" style of music. He came up with new "colors" for the clarinet. Truly one of the greatest contemporary innovators on clarinet.

You can come back and talk some more about "new & fresh" sounds for clarinet after you've listened to 20 or 30 hours of Bill Smith :^)
