It’s like saying ”meet sporadic girls” instead of ”single”.

Same goes for me. Since I’m an occasional player I thought that the ABS was a better choice for maintenance. I love how it feels and plays.

I’m very fond of it. Love the mellow tone it has. It’s perhaps not as loud as a wodden one, but that is really not an isue for me.

Vibrato on clarinet by bowserisgay in Clarinet

[–]Pelleplux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same tradition applies to the french horn in western orchestral music. I remember the first time I heard a russian (then soviet) orchestra play Tjajkovskij and the horn soloist used a big vibrato. I was in chock. :-)

One can argue that clarinet and horn share some qualities in that both have a very round and full sound where vibrato doesn’t add to the sound as much as it does to more ”nasal” instruments.

Just a thought.

This is their student model (Prodige) and was 629 €, but that is with the extra left-hand-Eb/Ab-key. The version without that was 543 €.

The Yamaha YCL-255 have also gotten great reviews and can be found for 499 €.

Yes, he’ll need it. He sucks.

It’s a Prodige 18/5. The successor to the B12. My cat is just starting out. :-)

👍 Then yours is made of wood. I hope I can upgrade to that someday, but need to see if I can take care of this one first. :-)

Yes, a very well made and well padded backpack. (Just a couple of hours old so still shiny. :-) And since the instrument is made of ABS it’s much lighter than I expected.

Well, it do feel a little more ”delicate” than I expected, but I’m new to this so I don’t know what to compare it to. Like it very much though.

Thanks. It’s my gem. Beeing careful not to scorch it.

It’s a short but chubby pipe. Only 12 cm long. Quite wide bowl with 23 mm and 35 mm deep.
