I do wonder about the merits of such a poll. What are you actually trying to find out? And why? There are far too variables for a proper study of your...
I am pleased, I have been asked by voice grad student if I will play two mvt. of Schoenberg, Gebet and Nacht. When I heard year ago in lit class wished I...
I got to play all of Pierrot Lunaire a couple of years ago. Assuming you have a good singer and a good conductor, it's not too bad to put together. I know...
Hello Everyone, These are my thoughts on the poll that was recently created asking for recommendations on a good price range for an intermediate model bass...
It's Matthew, not Michael. It is obvious what the question is asking - in the sense of the straight meaning of the words. That's a bit of a naïve way of...
Perhaps really the question would have been better asked to the group rather than as a poll, since there is quite a lot more involved with the question than...
I completely agree that it would have been better to ask the group for their opinions rather than creating a poll. But, as some of you may know, this is an...
Trevor, I have no experience with the models you are asking about. I have seen three players with single octave key model clarinets (older Noblet-wooden,...
In playing with our church instrumental group I have to tune to a church organ that is very old and plays quite flat. To get in tune I have to pull the neck...
Hi Trevor, I played the Yamaha YCL221 student model bass clarinet (purchased new) for about a year and agree with Ann that although the lower register sounded...

I am in a similar situation. Romantic organs like ours were tuned to an A 435 before the A440 became standard. I just pull out more at the neck. I already have...
My experience is that in general you will be better off trying to relax down to the pitch (throat as well as embouchure), rather than "squeezing" up to the...
I don't have any personal experience either sorry but would suggest (if you haven't already) have a search through the archives at the clarinet bulletin board...
Hello, Trevor, Sorry for the delayed response to your original post. I've owned and loved my Yamaha YCL-221 for four years now, and have written about it ...
Hello Group, I have been playing bass clarinet with a clarinet quartet based in Northern New Jersey for the past couple of years, and unfortunately we will...
Can someone who is familiar with the Fobes bass mouthpieces please tell me the noticeable differences between the Nova CF and San Francisco CF models? There...
Hi John, Wish I lived a lot closer to northern New Jersey - I would ask to audition in a heartbeat! Just as a matter of curiosity, which part do you play in...
Susan, Thanks for thr reply. I play bass in the quartet. Much of the original music that I have is stuff that I've had for many years and I'm not sure that it...
Well, it sounds like fun, and if I still lived in NY, I would do it...I think keeping up my clarinet skills is probably a good idea in the long run... Good...
Thanks, but I was actually looking for some feedback from someone who has played both models. The measurements appear the same, but there is about a $165...
I've had Fobes San Francisco and Debut soprano clarinet mouthpieces. I think the difference is in the materials and method. If I recall correctly, the less...
i too love my grabner, it's amazing ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam...
DITTO on the Grabner mouthpiece. I hesitated to post to this line because you asked about Fobes. What I love is that Walter will send you one to try and if...
