Re: Resistance with new(used) Uebel clarinet

Author: GavinClarinet  Date:   2021-11-02 15:54 Thanks for the responses, Gives me some hope that it's not just me that's the problem in this case! I've found a technician about 30 minutes away so waiting to hear from them as to availability - sadly there seem to be fewer around these days, even in a fairly well populated area. Howarths is probably my nearest actual shop that offers repairs, all the local ones are only guitar or drum related... Also interested in the comments re mouthpieces. The Uebel originally came with a B45 which presumably was considered an OK fit, though looking down it there doesn't seem to be much difference in size with the chamber to any of the other Vandorens I have. I've been thinking of play testing some mouthpieces to find the 'right' one (I remember the difference it made back in the 80s when I switched to a Peter Eaton one). For the bore of the Uebel, it sounds like a larger chamber one may be beneficial? Aside from the Selmer and Clarke Fobes Europa suggested, are there any others that are worth investigating? I'll likely have to obtain via post from somewhere like Dawkes or Howarth to be able to play test several, and that tends to limit the range somewhat. I did have a Backun Vocalise on my potential list (based partly on the video from Dawkes with you Peter!), because it seems to play nicely with Legere. Any others that could be added to the 'trial list' once any instrument technical issues are resolved - Christmas is coming after all I'll let you know what happens with the tech, I know how frustrating it is not to get an update once advice is given!
