A couple of months ago I picked up my old free clarinet I was noodling on thirty years ago. It had serious issues, the repair people said not worth it. I got a new Buffet E11 and am enjoying it, making a little progress each day. You're my main man for instruction. Thanks.
You know all the right things to say to make my day! I am glad to hear your are back with the cool kids that play clarinet! I love to hear stories like yours. What kinds of pieces are you looking to play?
I got a laugh out of "cool kids", I'm 70. Over the years, I've self-taught myself to play recorder, accordion, and piano (badly). I love to play, do it every day. I have a friend who plays jazz piano, I'd like to play popular tunes with him, "The Shadow of Your Smile" etc. I've run into a lot of music (and instrument) snobs. I'm glad you're not one.
At 70 that makes you the coolest of the cool kids! As far as snobs go....(youtube decency rules don't allow for what goes here)...Anybody that wants to play an instrument is cool. Even more cool if they are playing the music that they want to play.
thanks for the info, very interesting! i was just looking for the Tuning video you mentioned in this one, and i can't find it. Neither in the description, nor on your channel's page. Could you link it or provide the title please? thanks!
I will add that to the description! Thanks for letting me know:) Stop playing out of tune: Clarinet intonation secrets that will blow your mind! th-cam.com/video/t73fUeO6Hpw/w-d-xo.html
are you ready for a dumb answer...I don't know. Brad had something has was calling "dark" at the convention in Ireland and I liked it. I am going to make a video about it once he names it and has it available on the website. I had a brief conversation with him about it, but I don't want to put forth information that I am only partially confident is correct. I think all of his equipment is amazing. These mouthpieces in particular are amazing for me.
@@clarinetninja sounds like it is one that he is finalizing to sell to the general public? I’ve tried his Prescott cnc mouthpiece (which I think are still hand finished) and preferred the closed facing which is surprisingly since I’m used to a Hawkins medium facing mouthpiece. I just needed a stronger reed, with it, it felt like I could get the same amount of sound out of it as the Hawkins and was impressed. One of these days I’m going to break down and fork out the dough for the sono (or something similar) and give it a whirl. I’ll probably reach out to him or his company first to chat to see they recommend when I’m ready.
@@samsinite100 I hold Brad in the highest regard. The mouthpieces that are not really for me are top level mouthpieces that are simply not for me. The barrels - amazing. The reed cases - groudbreaking. The reeds - terrific. The bells - I don't know because I have never tried them but I have good reason to think they are great! Even more, he is a terrific person who wants clarinet players to have what works best for them whether it's his product or not. It's probably pretty obvious how much of a fan I am!
I love you daddy and you are the best clarinet player In the world
I love you kiddo. You are the best kiddo in the world

Which Behn mouthpiece are you playing on and what do you think about it?
