Wow. He can get that high and clear with 2-1/2 strength reeds? Wow. My embouchure hurts just thinking about that. I only wish I heard him in person before he retired. Thanks for posting!

I read not long ago that Pete Fountain was voted the FINEST clarinet player of the 20th Century, and that included players like Benny Goodman. I can't imagine being so good at anything, but Pete sure was. He did things with the "licorice stick" that nobody else could do.

Hi and yes I do play clarinet. I sat in with Pete's band in 1994. I uploaded a couple of videos of the event. They are at my YouTube location.

what is his reed/mouthpiece/ligature/horn setup?
fornello123 3 years ago
He plays a big bore LeBlanc model L1612 w/gold keys. Has the articulated G# and forked Bb. The bore is .59 thousands I think. Mouthpiece is an old O'Brien 4* and he was using Marca 2 1/2 reeds. The ligature is a standard ligature from LeBlanc.

I was there that night sitting in about the third row center. I talked to Pete afterwards and was not feeling good that night, had the flu or something. He sure played great as usual. Remember on Wolverine Blues when he did a gliss DOWN from high C to A? He can make that horn do anything he wants!
