 Re: In search of a smaller sound.

Interesting that you mention warmth, as just now (since my last posting) I have tried the Marigaux and Laubin again, (while trying different things with reeds) and "warmth" seemed to be something the Marigaux had more of. It was pretty much independent of "ease," so I'm not exactly illustrating your point, but I am searching for words to talk about the difference in the sounds and "warmth" is a good one.

I also remember now what my teacher wrote about her experience with Laubins: something of a brittle or tinny quality to the sound. I think tinny doesn't describe it well, but "brittle" does get at what I'm hearing that I don't completely like.

I think this Laubin really is a wonderful instrument--very consistent sound throughout the scale and better relative intonation than my Marigaux. With some adjustment in reeds I'm not getting the fuzziness I was worried about in a previous posting. But I'm still not in love with the thing.
