Re: Thinking about a new clarinet soon

Clarinetmc, was it mandatory that you played on that particular setup or just the way things usually were? I play on Buffet R13s with an M13 (series 13) mouthpiece, but that's what works for me. I switched to the M13-13 this year (I was playing on a 5RV-13 before that; the switch was a good thing). Setup is a very individual thing. The principal clarinet player in one of the orchestras I play in plays on Yamaha Custom something-or-other and that works well for him. Another clarinet player in another group I play plays on a Buffet E-11 and doesn't sound great. I bet he has some of the same issues I had in the beginning of this year when I started taking lessons again. At one point, I told my teacher I was sitting next to "me before I started taking lessons again" because I heard from this other person what my teacher was hearing from me last semester: lack of breath support therefore poor tone.

What I'm trying to spit out in this long-winded ramble is that the player and their equipment both matter in the equation and what works for one doesn't work for the other.
