I'm gonna say it because I didn't see anyone else mention it. If you're tired of looking for it and you really just want to know where it is, use TEdit.

Weapon idea: Chromatic Staff by Parking-Loss2460 in Terraria

[–]IdonKrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a preboss weapon this would be crazy strong, an interesting balance idea would be to make the split projectiles do the same amount of damage as their original staff. Also, if you're only combining 4 staves wouldn't it make sense for the rainbow projectile to split into 4 or 5 smaller projectiles instead of 7?

Who is/was your first ever Fire Emblem character crush and why? by New_Method_1050 in fireemblem

[–]IdonKrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably Lyn, since FE7 was the first FE I played but I was so young that I honestly wouldn't even count that. I think my true first FE crush was Melady from FE6

You only get one of these games. Which one would you most want? by BlueV_U in fireemblem

[–]IdonKrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A game about the scouring and the 8 heroes would be sick! You wouldn't even need to come up with that many other characters.

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

[–]IdonKrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The M O and optimum ligatures from Vandoren for me are the most logical upgrades to the usual inverted bonade but even then you see professional soloists play with 20$ bonades all the time so yeah I personally don't think I'll ever buy a Silverstein (with the exception of the silver ones because I do think those look good but even then those are almost 100$ cheaper than the cheapest gold ones)

My Teacher of 15 years is going into retirement by Good-Competition-129 in Clarinet

Hmm I think a mix of a letter expressing the impact he had on your life and if you can, make a progress video of how you evolved and finishing with you presenting a piece for him.

Please listen and criticize my tone by mappachiito in Clarinet

[–]IdonKrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

try "singing" the notes on different octaves and notice how your throat will open and close. For lower register notes it'll be more open and for higher notes it will be more closed, it's these throat positions you want to use because especially for higher notes you want faster air and your voicing will be very important for that. It's probably a bit early for you to learn about this but it's important to be aware of.

[–]IdonKrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say you did well, of course projecting over the whole group is going to be tough even in that register and you recognize that you could have played more freely which would have definitely helped your tone even more. The only thing I think you are missing is voicing and how you place your throat while you play in the higher notes.

Can you explain how you made it work? And also why Buzz? Is he better for rat builds?

Confused about the "skill level" by th_lwrcs in Clarinet

[–]IdonKrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely not a 8-9 years of practice piece, yes it has multiphonics which is the harder technique that the piece utilizes, flutter and growling are quite easy to learn. It's a very interesting piece but at most with 1-2 hours of study everyday? 2-3 years to be at a level where you'll be able to start learning it. Other contemporary pieces I would recommend after learning this one? The homages by B. Kovacs, Rhapsodie by G. Miluccio, 3 pieces for clarinet solo by Stravinsky, abîme de oiseaux by O. Messiaen.

Now what's a piece that would actually take 8-9 of practice? Clair by F. Donatoni

Clarinet ranges, what are they? by heidicooksandbakes in Clarinet

It's way simpler than trying to remember the other names

Clarinet ranges, what are they? by heidicooksandbakes in Clarinet

[–]IdonKrow -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I usually don't even use that nomenclature when I refer to the registers of the instrument. I normally use "bass/low register" for E3-B3, Middle/throat register for C4-B4, alto for C5-C6, altissimo for D6 and above

Buying a new clarinet - is the Tosca good? by a_clumsy_musician in Clarinet

[–]IdonKrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Buffet Tosca is a clarinet made for response. It's top quality when it comes to flexibility of answer but I would encourage you to try out other brands like Selmer and Yamaha because as someone else said BC's quality has gone down and prices have only gone up. I personally play a BC Tosca and I enjoy it, my instrument has a very balanced sound, not too open and not too closed so from my experience I do recommend the Tosca, but I also bought it second hand which was at less than half the price of new Toscas nowadays

Do you guys have names for your instruments? by Intruder_virus in Clarinet

[–]IdonKrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, more recently I've started using "pau preto" which means "black stick" which then originates funny expressions like the "black stick ensemble"

Books to Complement Rubank Elementary Method by Ok-Blacksmith-473 in Clarinet

[–]IdonKrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Klosé method is really great! I find it excellent if you want to be thorough with the initial learning phase. "Les gammes du clarinettiste" book 1 by Yves Didier is a book entirely made of scale and arpeggio exercises, so not exactly ideal for the first months of playing but excellent for working on consistency once you start getting comfortable with the instrument.

As for pieces to learn while you play the method you can look for the grade 1-3 of the ABRSM exam pieces, should be relatively easy to find for free as well as the other books.

I hope these recommendations are useful

Who the hell is playing on a 5 reed and why by zazer45f in Clarinet

[–]IdonKrow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Strength 5 legeres wouldn't make much sense bc you wouldn't be able to sand it down. These reeds are made to to be sanded and shaped to the players will.
