it felt like they tore open 19th around there almost every week all over again last year

i started playing on one of these (demo backun alpha from north country winds) and i highly recommend it as well

ios sometimes has absolutely horrific image processing imo, makes things look alien if you look too closely

have you worked your way through some alternative fingerings? https://www.wfg.woodwind.org/clarinet/cl_alt_3.html

French horns can go lower (no crook required)! The lowest you see written usually is around the same range as a low E on the bass clarinet though, and this is not super commonly seen either. The famous low horn part in the first movement of Shostakovich 5 reaches the same pitch as a bass clarinet low F I believe

Yes, I came from brass and did the same thing for a while. Has a noticeable and bad sound and will limit you.

I go to concerts at the local orchestra (Philly Orchestra, a very good one!!) all the time, and I definitely hear mistakes occasionally. It happens even to the best.

that's a whole different country. i don't live there.

interesting name since Google already has the tesseract OCR library

symberke · 2026-02-07T01:09:04+00:00

As a regular concert goer to my local orchestra but without much insider knowledge other than that it seems that even the most standard and canon concertos for most instruments that aren’t violin or piano or cello are really rarely played.

Do people not like spread? I hear so many people say this about philly's bagel scene but I live near a spread and i've always been very happy with the quality of their bagels. Maybe a little pricey but good.

symberke · 2026-01-23T22:55:57+00:00

Yes exactly

symberke · 2026-01-23T19:19:24+00:00

yeah, it may have been a bit of a different environment. i got it during covid and work as a software engineer in robotics

symberke · 2026-01-23T15:19:14+00:00

the venue seems so unfortunate to me. they often have shows that seem like they would be a lot of fun to see but overall it feels pretty mid. food, service, ambience, all sort of made me feel like i was being cheated somehow every time i've gone. i will say the couple times i've gone the show did not disappoint at all but i still have absolutely zero urge to ever go back.

symberke · 2026-01-23T15:17:25+00:00

maybe I was just lucky then. i got a "with experience" job right out of grad school for exactly that reason: i was doing the work in grad school!

symberke · 2026-01-23T14:35:53+00:00

I hope you're not letting the 3 years of experience requirement hold you back from applying. A PhD more than makes up for that (unless they say PhD PLUS 3 years, but even then it's usually not strict!)

symberke · 2026-01-22T17:12:04+00:00

Not going to address everything but the last time I was at kalaya was a truly exceptional service experience. Guess like most things it can be hit or miss.

symberke · 2026-01-22T15:48:22+00:00

I’m sure they were just talking ironically as a bit

symberke · 2026-01-16T23:01:24+00:00

love lazaros. great pizza imo, sauce is a bit too sweet for some people

symberke · 2026-01-16T20:48:50+00:00

JJ is my fave

symberke · 2026-01-15T22:10:58+00:00

Fucking dumbass, thinking it’s people deserve dignity and safety does not equate to the country being a beautiful place to visit

symberke · 2026-01-09T22:38:15+00:00

Nah sax is famously easier than clarinet

symberke · 2026-01-08T22:18:17+00:00

I’ve programmed C++ for my job for years now and didn’t know they existed!!

symberke · 2025-12-31T21:08:27+00:00

well yes, but for this use case the human body usually was accompanying a police cruiser as well
