Greetings all,

I am amazed that no one has mentioned flattening the notes with the lips to get that sound. Having briefly learnt from a Greek gypsy teacher, who played both a Bb and an A Albert system clarinet, it was obvious that he used higher pitched clarinets which he tailored for himself by cutting the barrels so as that he could flatten the sound and still be on the right key without sounding flat.

Thus, I think you need to do the opposite, get a higher pitched A clarinet and flatten the sound so as that it can match that in the CD's. When I first did this, the notes had a very artificial sound to them yet with time and practice I strengthened them to what I wanted.

Lastly, the three Greek clarinetists you mention, are also my favourite as well however, I do tend to favour Ahalinotopoulos alot more, (probably becasue I have seen him live). There is one more clarinetist that is brilliant as well, Dimitris Lazos, he is quite young but can really blow that horn.

regards,
Jim
