Re: barrels, theory & practical

Funny you should say that because I recently found out (personally) what it was like to play the clarion notes without the octave key (and all the pitch ramifications of the octave key both on and off) after 40 years of playing. I wanted to share this personal experience with the world........and then looked like an idiot.

I do feel that everyone of us has a sphere of knowledge that we use to measure our own new experiences. We also use it to be judgmental of others' spheres of knowledge. This is what makes this Board challenging, fun and educational. Perhaps we say similar things in a different way, and just in that turn of a phrase the communication may get through to a person that might have missed the point initially. Or someone totally misses the mark (I might have to volunteer to be "that guy") and then another will shed a great light upon the subject, and in this way many can learn from another's lack of experience.

The many different levels of experience and many different personality types can be daunting to wade through at times but we are all a community of clarinet players willing to learn..........and that's a good thing.

So what I've learned today is that I really don't know anything about barrels.
