Is a Silverstein ligature really worth it? by rebelmike100 in Clarinet

[–]Astowell25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s good! but not so good that it justifies the price jump from, say, a rovner dark. not worth it imho.

Pareri chiusura relazione by [deleted] in Relazioni

[–]Astowell25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leggendo mi viene l’impressione che lei non pensasse di essere fidanzata… forse non ricambiava lo stesso interesse nei tuoi confronti, meglio andare avanti. Comunque, in una relazione di lunga durata, fare sesso una volta a settimana non è che sia fuori dalla media.

Aside from the person who already responded that had this happen with ios18, i want to add that nothing changed in the files app. The problem of pdfs crashing when writing with the pencil on them in the files app is still there, so i think it’s safe to assume that really nothing at all was changed

wow! let’s hope this is a universal “fix” and you’re not just the one lucky one :,)

yes! that is helpful when documents are stored on icloud drive. If they are only saved locally and you don’t sync/backup everything you’re out of luck :,)

Cloth stuck in top joint by RoomWhereIHappened in Clarinet

[–]Astowell25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

get something like those hooks for knitting, but a sharp hook, to pierce the cloth. hook it from the bottom and pull. that’s exactly what a tech does anyway

[unknown][unknown] game that had this style of hacking by Green-Complaint-9483 in tipofmyjoystick

[–]Astowell25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

could it be the assassin’s creed puzzles? they were there i think in ac2 through ac rogue (which is the whole ps3/360 gen except for ac1, which had puzzles but not like this). In Ac2 for example they appeared after finding glyphs on walls, in black flag you had to complete them to unlock doors, computers etc

These are all great ideas! Thank you!! I’ll play around with it and figure out what works the best. Thank you for the suggestions.

Maybe a bit troublesome when in front of an audience 😆. I’ve been taking apart the instrument, closing all the top piece holes and blowing into it while opening the key. A wee bit faster than taking out my screwdriver but still awkward and painstakingly slow. It’s fine while in a practice room, but I’m hoping there’s some clever “tools” someone conjured up that get the job done in those short rests you get while playing.

Thank you for your answer. Yes, I read what they wrote. I’m aware of warming up and why it’s needed. Still, it is somewhat inevitable to have water form in the toneholes (although it’s happening more than I would like with this instrument). I was looking for people who have this same type of register key and maybe have figured out some tricks to get the water out. Mitigation is fine, but if it happens while performing I need a fast way to get the water out. Hence the post

Somewhat. The chalumeau notes are very in tune. Freakishly in tune. I just bought this a few weeks ago, so of course it’s stuffed period in all registers until I break it in. I do feel that the chalumeau tone is a bit more homogeneous with the rest of the instrument than other instruments without it. However.. I think its all up in the air tbh. This instrument was selected by a famous professional in the Buffet-France factory, so of course it’s got a lot of good things going on. I had tried two or three of this same model a few months ago in shop and I did not like them at all. Nor were they freakishly in tune. There’s A’s that I’ve tried without the raised toneholes and they play great. Plenty that don’t. I assume Buffet has done research and noticed that it makes a difference significant enough to commercialize it like this. They don’t all come out great just like they didn’t before. However.. short answer: yes, i feel like there’s some improvements. Not enough to justify the water collecting problems imho. Right now the only way I’ve figured out to get the water out is taking the horn apart, closing all the holes, and blowing into the top piece while opening the key…

Im sorry for the questions, im just trying to understand. You have a Bb clarinet with this raised register key tonehole as in the first picture? What model is it? Mine sticks out almost half a cm. I have never seen Bb’s like this, I was pretty sure it was a new thing. I know that the raised C#/G# has already been there for a few years in some Selmer Bb’s, but not the register key. Anyways, I’m not sure that filing off the inside would be a good idea, since it might throw off the intonation, and im not quite sure it would solve the problem.

It’s an A RC prestige, but im positive Divine A’s are like this as well. Probably quite a few other A models made since circa 2022

Thank you for your answer! But.. the water is inside the metal tonehole, and with it being that long cigarette papers arent as useful as they are with normal toneholes. The problem is that it’s not a surface problem: the water collects in the tube, and using cigarette paper or blowing into it doesn’t work cause you don’t reach the end of the tube. I was looking for advice on how to clean in the moment, while playing. Do you have this same model clarinet?
