Re: Don't like the sound of American clarinet

ChuChu you have no idea of the history of the "American" sounds, which is actually non existent. Our "sound" was influenced by a Frenchman, Bonade, and a Russian, Bellision. Over the years players blended the tones and created bigger, fuller and more vibrant tones but many went in different directions as well which is why there is no such thing as an "American" sound today. With that said, the manufacture of so many new mouthpieces, reeds, ligatures etc. and easy access to recordings and touring players you will see what you call the American sounds spread all over the world. Sure there's still differences but more by individual players than by country. There was a time as a student, in the 50s-early 60s, I could tell which country a recording was from by listening to the clarinet player at least 3/4 of the time. Now it's nearly impossible. The French, English, and Germans used to have a more distinct tone. English players mostly used English clarinets and equipment, German players in orchestras had to us German clarinets, French were very distinctive as well, but no more in many places. Sure Americans were and ARE influenced by foriegn players as well and they are and have been greatly influence by American players. I hear pleasant, beautiful, tones everywhere these days but I also hear tones far less flattering everywhere as well. In America and every where else as well. Bottom line, i love the sound I get, it's mine. As my teacher, Leon Russianoff, told me when i asked him who or how I should sound he said "Like Eddie Palanker".
