Re: Help for a Student

I have news.

1. The Monopole is back to full, working condition. I can play Rhapsody in Blue (all bends, too) with no problem, all notes from the low E to the very high (it's literally a squeak for me) the high Bb above high G resonate very well in the instrument. The altissimo tends to go slightly flat, I can compensate. Throat tones very easy to control. Overall, my Couesnon plays better than my friend's LeBlanc.

2. The key action is too high and the top joint needs new cork; getting the horn back tomorrow with these issues solved.

3. My band director didn't know much to say. He helped me to decide on better options I have in college, and he thought my clarinet would carry well for me throughout college as, if not a primary instrument, a secondary.

I don't doubt I'll probably get an R13 in the future; I know for a fact that when I get out of college, I will look for a better clarinet. But for now, this one plays phenomenally for me. Thank you everyone for your help.
