@JANDAR69 vandoren reed no.3.5 JP series 24 "C" clarinet with an M13 lyre mp

[JANDAR69]

wooo 3.5 reed , i used to play that years ago , no good on the throat but is better for classical music 1hr gigs. When you play music from the Balkan bro , as a gig can go as long as 7hrs playing straight you need to get used to 2 - 2.5 read you may know Glisando , sluring bending of notes as we play is better on a softer reed but obviously you need to get the embachuer right ,it's not a good idea to swap from 2 - 3.5 read off and on .I asked you about what you play on due 2 ur tone

Could this be played on the Bb clarinet?

[lsdvine]

@cowgirl14zz Absolutely! It's written in D which would mean that to play it on Bb and be able to play with other musicians from memory, then you should learn all Irish/english folk pieces at the concert pitch. e.g. this piece is concert D major so you would transpose the tune to E major when learning it on the Bb. Oddly, most countries around the world don't teach the Bb as Bb. In other words the fingering for C is taught to the student as being a D. Do you understand?

Très bonne idée... On pourrait ainsi tourner chaque partie d'orchestration jouée par vous et avoir l'écran rempli de 8 séquences-vidéo.

J'aime.

BRAVO !
