Hmmm - all we need now is a Clarinet Hendrix or a Clarinet Page or Clarinet (insert your own favourite here)...

A clarinet-Hendrix would certainly help the manufacturers, since he would need to get a new one after smashing his on stage for every concert. Now if we could only get people doing that to the Clarinet Shaped Objects perpetrated by the big-box stores.

Of course!
Anyone who wants to send me CSOs for a piece where I smash them at the end, contact me offline. I'm dead serious. I'll even throw in a t-shirt for your trouble.
Will take multiple if there are multiple offers, as that way I can perform the piece multiple times.

My only problem with this thread is people using the name Hendrix in vain.....
Tread lightly with that name my friends, tread lightly.
Feel free to substitute 'Pete Townsend' as you see fit. No sacrilege entailed there--- for me at least.

The subtext of the Onion satire is that the anonymous author, looking for the funniest possible choice as the replacement for the guitar, probably chose the clarinet as the least-hip instrument of all. And the subtext of *that* choice is that it's hip to be square. The instrument the satirists pick as the least-hip today will inevitably catch on with the trendiest of the trendy the day after tomorrow. So don't smash your old beaters on the stage or make them into lamps, because -- Coming Soon to an Auction House Near You! -- once the fashionistas flip the trend on its beak, that clapped-out student honker might sell to some idiot, oops, I mean some elegant master of the universe, for megabucks. But only if it's in original condition. (With the original reed.)

What the writers at the Onion don't realize is that they are 50 years too late on the 'hipness' count.
The "country down south of us" elevated the clarinet (and sousaphone for that matter) to hip Star-Status many years back. We are merely now catching up to the trend ourselves.
For your consideration, I submit the following clips of La Banda El Recodo

However, you have not crossed over into the Twilight Zone.

Gracias for the links! The clarinets will sound out of tune to anybody not accustomed to that retro mariachi-style harmonizing (an acquired taste that I acquired when staying with an aunt and uncle in Mexico back in the 1960s). That later style fusing mariachi with disco died by the early 1990s, but I'm glad to hear it only dropped merely dead, not really most sincerely dead. I'm impressed with El Recodo's sousaphone player, btw! Everything old is new again ....
