Anyone know of any good books about the clarinet, performance, technique, etc? Not really talking so much about music as guidebooks, manuals and the like.

Tom ridenour has a fantastic book called "The Complete Educators Guide to the Clarinet" which discusses in great detail, the physical elements of clarinet playing

I don't know if there are any others like it, but Keith Stein wrote an amazing book many years ago called "The Art of Clarinet Playing." In it he describes performance and practice techniques. I don't even know what happened to my copy. I'd love to re-read it now.

If you don't have Ridenour's book, you really need it before any other. So much good and, very sadly, not commonly known information there that will help you play better and know more about so many important topics. It's very clearly presented.

Ridenour's book on Fingerings in the Altissimo Register is also very good.
"Carmine Campione on Clarinet: A Complete Guide to Clarinet Playing and Instruction" is the work of a Curtis grad--a very fine clarinetist with an original, thoughtful approach to the instrument. Weiner and Van Cott both stock this.

The "Velocity Studies for Clarinet" by Kalmen Opperman has been a staple since forever! And all us old guys trained for sight reading and transposition with the Pasquale Bona book "Rhythmical Articulation (A Complete Method)" written for classical vocalists, but quite wonderful for instrumentalists.

The Opperman Modern Daily Studies have been around for a long time. I think the Velocity Studies were published in 1999.
