Re: Weight, plastic and wood

Author: jouez_hautbois  Date:   2014-10-19 20:49 Thank you for your answers, you're all so nice! :-) I keep notes to look for the RIAC and Fox 333, as well as the weight balance. Also, the thumb rests Ridenour and Yamaha seem good but they only make it more confortable for the thumb itself... when the thumb is too flexible and stretches too far, like mine, they change nothing, sadly, well from my experience. I didn't know that the FHRED was tricky to put on the instrument. The WRIST is easy to use and takes much weight off, but it doesn't allow to move that much. I have been lucky enough to hold an Altuglass but stupid enough to focus on its weight instead of playing longer. :-D I ignore the actual weight, though. I wonder which keys you judge necessary? My Bundy doesn't even have a low B flat! I would say F resonance key, B flat, 3rd octave key... do you think that other keys are essential? I'm a self taught, but I play in my regional orchestra and am quite limited by my Bundy! We play much Sibelius this year, Finlandia, Karelia... Also, anybody has tried the brand Nobel? I'm just curious. http://www.veraquin.com/en/fichesproduits.php?idtype=2&idcat=4
