Dear Hank and JDBass,
Your very kind gifts of clarinet and mouthpieces arrive today and I have just assembled them and had a play.
Thanks so much for these. You are quite right, they are tack sharp for tuning and actually just amazingly easier to play than my own clarinet. I think the pads on mine must be leaky because it screeches a lot and this one is just completely well behaved and is about as easy to play as a recorder. I had no idea.
Thanks so much for sending these. They will set me on a much better road for joining this orchestra.
I went last night btw and it went quite well. I couldn't get a sound out of my clarinet at all for ages until I realised that the reed had split and then I changed the reed and it was a lot better after that. It's very different playing when I can't hear myself easily. My task this week will be learning to get going in a loud room, which should be a lot of fun.
Most importantly my son had a brilliant time and I was able to sit right next to him as the clarinet section were right next to the horn section, so we got off on a great footing there and he played with great gusto and fantastic rhythm. :-)
Thanks again for your kind help. :-)
Sunny
