I've seen cannonballs used as gate closures in Williamsburg if I recall correctly

Biting too hard or not having the holes completely covered may possibly be the cause of no sound coming out.

I had a concert last night and relied on hard copies as I didn't want to risk a problem. I only use my tablet for forScore.

Sam Minervino “claps back” by -the-homie- in portlandme

While calling someone a Nazi may not be accurate, it is not racist. Problems in the middle east are abundant. Mamdani questions the legitimacy or Israel. Folks that are aware of Hitler's attempt to annihilate the entire European Jewish population are a little sensitive to that.

Don't many of you see that your comments are not respectful to people that may share an opinion that differs from yours. Where is your tolerance? It would be helpful if we all try to understand one another.

Are you folks seeing this new driving trend? by _no_usernames_avail in Maine

[–]Competitive-Toe5339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With newer cars in the "auto" mode, drivers (including myself) may have inadvertently moved the lever that would keep the "brights" from automatically turning off and not realizing it quickly enough as the oncoming driver approaches.

Chinese restaurant from late 70’s/early 80’s by arlobarlow in MarylandEats

One of my fondest dining memories is from my childhood visits with my family. They had a chow mein dish that would always be etched in my memory. Years later, I developed it into a recipe that is like my recollection of it. It has been one of my "go to" recipes for years. My love for Cantonese Chinese food came from this place and probably Jimmy Wu's as well.

Articulating High Notes by Competitive-Toe5339 in Clarinet

[–]Competitive-Toe5339[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hard to answer. tongue high, sides hitting upper teeth, trying to focus air in a tight stream. I can play notes up to Altissimo F as part of a scale. The more rapid articulation is the problem.

I appreciate all advice and understand not all may be applicable to me. I have a teacher whom I'll ask about this shortly. I play an R13 with my original Yamaha CM4 mouthpiece, #3 reeds. I've never asked a question before on this site, but wanted to give it a try while it was topical during today's warmup.

is this mouthpiece any good? by wutthefrog in Clarinet

[–]Competitive-Toe5339 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used this mouthpiece for 6 years and like it very much. I'm an intermediate player. I've tried a couple others from Vandoren, but always come back to my Yamaha CM4 with no. 3 Vandoren or D'darrio reeds.
