Re: Eb soprano (eefer) - critically underdeveloped/underplayed instrument

@chitownclarinet

A lot of community bands won't use Eb regardless of the player's good intonation because it really clashes with the typically out of tune flute sections in those groups. Even what sounds like decent intonation between clarinets and flutes in octaves, if you put an Eb clarinet that pings exactly an octave above the 1st clarinets, it will sound like hell.

It kind of drives me insane that typical band directors will assume any intonation problem in the high range is a clarinet problem. Flute players, especially in bands play high E, F, F# and G's so sharp above a mp that its like they are in their own world.

If you want an opportunity to play Eb with a good band. Audition for the Wheaton Municipal Band in may. Auditions are blind and all sight reading.
