  • what is the name of that klezmer song?

  • @JazzYugioh1022 Khosn Kale Mazltov. I have a video tutorial for this tune. Check the video description.

  • Hey Oleg,

    I recorded many CDs playing Klezmer Music using a Vandoren Austrian lay mouthpiece. This is a very closed and profoundly classical mouthpiece. I used a #4 Austrian cut reed on it and could make all the "laughing" and other ornaments that I wanted to.

    It's not about the mouthpiece it's about what you do on it.

  • @merlinmichaeshepherd Of course you can produce "laughing" effect on closed classical mouthpiece but it is more difficult because it doesn't give you much freedom of bending the notes. The more opened the mouthpiece and the softer the reed the more bending you can produce. Thats why armenian, greek, turkish folk clarinetists use very soft reeds and opened mouthpieces. Thanks for comment, Merlin!))

  • I tried, will it work with with a 6 jody jazz alto sax mouthpiece, on a student selmer?

  • It depends on the model of the mouthpiece. Laughing effect will be possible if the mouthpiece is designed for jazz music. It is more difficult to bend the notes and achieve the laughing effect on the classical mouthpieces.
