Re: new bass... appropriate MP and springs loosening

Maruja,

I have upgraded woodwinds many times over my 70 years of playing clarinets, saxophones, and flutes. My procedure was always to change things one at a time. Start with your current setup of mouthpiece and reeds on the new instrument and change nothing else.

Play the instrument for a while (days or even weeks) and see how things feel. What's the same and what is different? What is better or worse?

I'd be very reluctant to make any changes until you know exactly why you are doing them. You may find that you are happy with what you have as those Yamaha student bass clarinets play very well.

Remember, it is tough to get the toothpaste back in the tube.

Hank
