CLARINET
VINTAGE:
1970(ish) Buffet E&S K-series clarinet. I DID have some work done to it (custom undercutting of tone holes), and to date I haven't found a professional horn that rivals that is worth spending money on. I've found horns that sound better sure, but not worth $4k, or $3k, or even $1k better (not that any of them only cost $1k)
Rovner ligature. Not sure if I'd call it "vintage", but it's an early model Rovner Dark. Works to keep the reed on, works for me.
Blayman stand (at least the design... I think I bought the stand technically in the early 2000s)
NEWER EQUIPMENT/CHOICES
Mouthpiece. I think this might be lots of folks. And that's alright. Past 1.5 years have been on a CG mouthpiece from Backun.
Legere reeds (brand/material is CERTAINLY not vintage). I'm a HUGE fan and will sing their praises for many years to come.
Case (BAM case)
I'd LIKE to say digital sheet music, but I go back and forth depending on ease of use. But I do use both.
OTHER INSTRUMENTS I KNOW OR AM LEARNING
VINTAGE:
Conn 10M tenor sax and Conn 6M alto sax. Cheap enough for me to buy, great reputations, play what I need to play. Still old rovner designs for ligatures.
Fender Jazz Bass made in USA. Maybe one day I'll learn to start playing it.
NEWER EQUIPMENT/CHOICES
Mouthpieces. Just easier to find and test what works.
Bass amp.
Headphones for listening, and cases.
Cool thread. Glad to see you still around Hank! We've never interacted, but this forum is sort of a comfort for me. And I like seeing familiar names here. People who post often, and are passionate. Lord knows I've racked up my numbers of posts. Not all of substance to others unfortunately, but all of substance to me and who I am.
