The Clarinet BBoard

Re: Bret Pimentel's ClariMate review

Author: SecondTry  Date:   2023-01-17 21:13 Thanks for doing this review Bret (I see you've chimed in above). Man, IMHO do you have a great (natural) clarinet tone! Also IMHO, this device, like synthetic reeds were 30 years ago, lies at the infancy of bridging the gap between natural playing and the introduction of something synthetic, whether reed, sound, or both. I suspect that someday we may laugh at this device's relative immaturity in the digital and muting space as we do today IBMs initial offering into the personal computing space in the 1980s, much that today Buffet's new device is is both, IMHO, paradoxically remarkable, and deficient all at the same time. As I become more appreciative of the fact that sound enclosures for player and instrument, rather than just the latter, provide true sound muting, and that the former's portability is highly limited I can accept the ClariMate being much better than nothing for the traveling musician, but in its current form hardly a substitute for all the nuances of actual play: not that anyone has suggested it is.
