I bought an Effer !

I did something I never thought I’d do…bought an Eb clarinet…and I’m glad I did. It’s really quite fun and I’ve been enjoying attempting to tame the little guy. I played a musical last year which required some Eb. I was intrigued…after all, they wrote for Eb, they must have wanted it for some reason! I bought a 60s vintage Bundy, and with the suggestion of an experienced Eb player, a Vandoren B44 mouthpiece. I must say, it’s got an interesting sound….not too shrill…. I’ve checked it out with a tuner, and the intonation is not too bad. Up to altissimo d and e, I’m OK…above that, intonation and sound quality go through the floor ( or maybe the ceiling!). Now, all I need is someone with the nerve to ask me to play it on a gig!
