Older Players and Their Playing Abilities

Author: CarlT

I've been reading with interest the current topic, "Tired Mouth Problems", but rather than hi-jack that thread, I thought I'd start a new one.

I'm well into my 70's, and so far, I'm still able to play a Vandoren #3 reed (on a Vandoren M15 mp). I really can't tell that I've lost much stamina, if any, over the past 6, or so, years, but I also realize that it might be just a matter of time before that happens.

Since I only started playing the clarinet 6 years ago, and with about an hour per day of practice, I am playing better today than ever, but I know, that won't last forever.

I was just wondering if there are any of you players in your late 70's and 80's (90's?) who still can play at nearly the same level that you always have?

BTW, I play single-lip.
