  • clarinets difficult to control always have areas that sound very badly. one popular model sounds very well in the low register, but above the staff is always harsh, thin and easily distorted. most uneven clarinets don't have a "sound"--they have lots of sounds due to uneven resistance.

    As I see it pitting sound against response/resistance is a false dichotomy that fails to consider the whole clarinet. the clarinet that plays best phrases best and invariably is the one that sounds best.

  • Yes, thank you for sharing this wealth of info! I'm so impressed in your rational reasoned approach to this instrument. I love how you cut thru so much B.S. and get to what's really important. Yours is a way of thinking that I wish were more prevalent. Keep up the good work and thanks again. (and oh yeah, I've finally gotten the hang of double lip. It took a little [painful] while to get over my biting habit, but it's really helped my overall tone production. thanks again.)

  • Thanks a lot for the videos! I'm probably going to subscribe soon. The four causes concept is really helpful in keeping our thinking straight. I think my approach to clarinet playing in general is aimed at the final cause of beautiful and elegant phrasing, but I think my approach to equiment is more aimed at the final cause of mere beautiful tone rather than phrasing; for me, it's worth the extra effort to overcome some evenness issues as I play a horn for the sake of having a great tone.
