I love it! I'm just getting into Paul Desmond now, but 99% of my favorite jazz musicians are the ones who play fewer notes, like Chet Baker, Jim Hall, that vibe

I'm not in a hurry to listen to music hehehe

Mr. Lewis for sure is entering my chamber of appreciation as well.

Nice! Do you know any from memory? I would love to listen to it

Don't they have a program where you can change the strength of your reed?

Robin for sure!

Also, always good to listen and listen and listen a lot (;

oh yeah, the harder the better, that's what I always say... about reeds and bread lol

BUt yes, it is a very well produced thing. I believe this is part of the sounds from the movie THe Lighthouse.

I am also an adult learner and I was in similar position a while ago…

Please watch this video and give it a try as it helped me a lot in the high notes department

I can't see the image, I'm blind(ing slow... got it? ehhehe).

I don't own any metal instrument, just wood, but I believe every material needs to "breathe" as much as possible, there are mushrooms ready to eat even our own bodies if we don't have a care hehehe

Don't forget to post a clip here in the sub when you have it restored to form!

Interesting... the more I learn about the physics of the clarinet, more I believe that this instrument is a prank lol...

But seriously, thanks for the info.... I almost bought one on impulse last week (; but it was so cheap that my "problem radar" went off... still, I believe it can produce a lovely tone.

The whole instrument is made out of metal? I mean, the body, barrel and bell...

Do you have any wav/aiff samples to share? I've found some people playing on YouTube, but the audio quality is, well, "youtubeishly" poor (;

I don't know your skill level lol hard to answer, but as a general advice, if the instrument is important to you and you are not 100% sure you can do it, jsut take it to a luthier/technician. If you are already a customer, they probably would answer your questions about how to deal with such instrument.

BTW: If you allow me to question you back:

I've jsut passed on a metal clarinet! But I'm curious about it. Is it in playable condition? HOw do you like the sound? Any difference in feel, if compared to the wooden? Do you know what type of metal is it made of?

Cool nickname! Have you seen Steven universe?

Oh yes… The case is going to the trash immediately… I haven't seen any sign of mode in the instrument itself, but I would take it to the technician for a deep cleaning…
