 Re: Really bad headache while playing altissimo notes on Eb Clarinet

I played one of the little beasts for a few years, regularly.

A little goes a long way ... the timbre of the instrument cuts thru the ensemble and therefore not a much shear power is required.

As I remember, my instrument was a Selmer Series 9 and MP was a 5RV with a cut-off Vandoren German B-flat reed.

Properly played, it adds a wonderful dash of spice to a Band, helping to cement the sound of the flutes and clarinets together, IMO. Indispensable.

In high school, only the best players were assigned the E-flat.

Good luck taming this critter ... it can be done, and will delight everyone!

Tom
