I'm leaving in the morning to attend the University of Oklahoma Clarinet Symposium. I hope to see many of you there. If you are attending, please note I am...
Hello all! I received my first low-c bass clarinet today (a Selmer 37 from around 15 ago) and I've been playing with it for a few hours to get the feel for it....
Hello, Congrats on the horn! I just got a Buffet 1193 myself. I personally use Rico Grand Concert Select(size 4) and find them to be good solid reeds. I find...
Hi folks - I dont normally plug businesses as obviously as this, but I'm very impressed right now... I gotta say that Gary van Cott runs a pretty slick...
I'll second that plug. Gary is the best to work with. Everything I have ever ordered from him has arrived very quickly and in perfect condition. There was...

I loved that piece of music. We had it in our HS library and it has a great lick for the BC at the beginning. I can't remember the composer, and I don't...
I played it in High School (1962) and again in Community Band (2004), so it's a piece, I think, that has some ability to "stick around." As I best remember,...

I've just started having problems playing high C on my Selmer 37. It usually works coming from a note below, but playing it by itself never seems to work - it...
Check out the key and pad that is under the throat A key (or it least it would be on a soprano clarinet). This can cause problems on this note if it isn't...
Assuming you mean the C just above the staff (as opposed to the C an octave above that), then are the B and A completley ok? If this wasn't a problem before...
Who's going to ClarFest in Kansas City? I got my Master's at UMKC, and it's only about a 3 hr drive, so I'll be there. Looking forward to it! Allison Baugh...
I have a very old Buescher Tenor Sax, made in Elkhart, IN It has a silver finish, not brass. The serial number is 31505. Above the serial number, it says Low...
