Trying a whole sleu of different horns and finding one that you really click with is an amazing feeling. I went to a Music & Arts store event with a couple friends once and tried a whole bunch of clarinets they had on display. I ended up really clicking with the Yamaha CSVR. Over a year later, I was finally able to get one of my own as my senior gift this past February. I love the horn to death, though I will always look upon my days with my $100 Selmer Bundy horn with fondness.
I went to a music and arts event in which they had dozens of clarinets at the ready, and the one I clicked with was a bakun proroge, most beautiful clarinet I've ever played, I ended up getting a Leblanc serenade, and one day hope to get the proroge, just love it
I own that ligature and it is the most perfect ligature. One crank knob, perfect groove to hold the reed vertical, and it looks amazing. I also have a black one that is just as perfect.
Dude ! your professor did you a huge solid and lent you his first horn and you totally dissed it 😩 for shame . Please show more respect to others in the future .
Why is it crazy that it still plays if it's been sitting in a case safe from the environments and whatnot? I feel like the only thing to worry about would be the cork
The cases aren't airtight and heat resistant. The heat and humidity changes can stress the material and make it warp or split (if it's wood), causing it to have leaks. Also they have pads like saxophones
It’s a Bundy by Selmer. So, it’s a plastic clarinet, wood cracking isn’t a huge issue. The biggest worry would be the heat. Pads and corks are glued in. Especially with the heat in South Florida, it’s Amazing that all of the pads sealed as well as they did!
@@musicmaninc4305 on a scale of 1 to 10 how bad are these things? I’ve only ever played on a wooden clarinet. I’m thinking about getting something like this, I gave my nice clarinet to my nephew. I have a bunch of instruments I’m trying to get (just imagine some goober trying to eventually create some type of weird folk “orchestra”) but I want something to hold me over until I’ve saved up enough money to get all the crazy stuff I want. Including an expensive clarinet that I’d like. So I figure getting something like this would give me a chance to experiment with some of my weird ideas on garage band. (Congas + Ukulele + cello banjo + clarinet) Do they have anything similar that’s tuned in Eb instead as well? Because I’m thinking I want something in a higher tuning.
Hey Nathan, why do you think people don't play clarinet in jazz anymore? And will you take a jazz approach to your clarinet playing? Or will you use it purely for classical music?
Although I’m a clarinetist primarily my favorite instrument is either soprano sax or alto sax. I would, however, recommend every woodwind player try a clarinet at least once.
I really really excited every time you make a clarinet video. There is no clarinet youtuber that plays and make challenges but saxophone there are plenty. So when there is a clarinet video I really like it (I play clarinet if you didn't get It lol(
I always love trying out a variety saxes (and other instruments) at conventions like TMEA. That's how I found a bari from Buffet that I really liked back in college, though I never have been able to afford my own bari sax... 😢
Oh shit, I was in FSU's Marching Chiefs and Seminole Sound (basketball pep band) with him! He's wearing his old uniform sweatshirt for Seminole Sound too! Geez, the world feels a whole lot smaller now.
I’m surprised after all that time it still worked. Very interesting video how unbelievable that poor clarinet was accidentally abandoned for 2 whole years but was forgotten until now what a life. I still gotta get my clarinet looked at, same with a few of my other brass and woodwind instruments!!…
Love your Channel you do some great videos. Sax and Clarinet are so similar and Tenor, soprano sax and standard Clarinet all being in the Key of Bb helps with fingering. I used to play Clarinet and Alto Sax When I was in School some 25 years ago.. Now I play Ukulele, Guitar, Bass, a bit of Piano/Keyboard. Music is fun in all its shapes and forms.
4:32 hey that lick is from your Mario Kart 64 Rainbow Road solo! (it also might just be a very famous jazz quote please don't laugh at me I don't know)
I'm looking at all of these price tags that are anywhere from $4k-6k and they're all described as "professional horns" and I'm over here with my advanced student/early pro-level cello that costs $13k. Granted, my cello will probably last me my entire life and then some if I take care of it well, but it's just something I noticed about instruments.
I play a Selmer 40 Series alto (the black nickel and silver finish) and was wondering what you thought of the one you played? I can't seem to find very many reviews or anything about it and I'm kinda curious what other people think
Lol I was looking for a spot in my house or outside to see where my sax sound sounded better, then I went outside and started playing, then I realized the neighbor was just starting at me 🤣
sooo… someone in my area was giving a away a free clarinet. i don’t know why they did it, but with one $100 cleaning, it was a perfect clarinet! it has the exact case as the one you have.
The Selmer Series 10 was comparable to the R13. The Series 9 was more jazz oriented. At least that's what I've always heard. I played on a 10 back in the early 80's when I was in high school.
Well there was the Series 9 and then the 9*. Then there was the 10G and the 10S. The 10G was the most "classical" since it was designed in collaboration with Anthony Gigliotti of the Philly Orchestra. The 10G is my favorite Selmer clarinet (other than the BT and early pre-BT's) because it's intonation is exceptional. Everybody seems to love the original Series 9 (more than 9*) and I love the tone but pitch always seems to be an issue.

My professor has a bell of a clarinet that is exploded. I live in lubbockTexas. Weather is crazy. One day it was 90 degrees. The next was freezing. And the day after 80 degrees. The wood couldn’t take it and it exploded
Thanks for stopping by Nathan! Come back anytime!

I like how it went from “Oh no, I left my clarinet in my car for 2 years. Let’s see if it still works” to “Ooooh a saxophone, let’s try it”

As clarinet player, that rose-gold ligature has me bustin
Bruh same

I listen to molly on the shore everyday at work lol, hearing him play it made me smile
truly the best piece ever written for a concert band
I own an Eastman 52nd and I honestly love it to death, it’s shaped my ever growing love for playing music! I wouldn’t trade mine in for anything else
I love how the first thing he played was Molly. Amazing
You made all the horns sound great, but I liked how the lacquered vintage Eastman sounded best. Clarinets: the struggle is real.
Dude ! your professor did you a huge solid and lent you his first horn and you totally dissed it 😩 for shame . Please show more respect to others in the future .

This is great and all, but... 3:38 *CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT STAIRCASE*
What about it
Hey Nathan, why do you think people don't play clarinet in jazz anymore?
And will you take a jazz approach to your clarinet playing? Or will you use it purely for classical music?
Easily the best kind of clarinet music. Love clarinets in jazz
Alot of reasons.
He probably has a clarinet primarily for doubling in jazz.
Although I’m a clarinetist primarily my favorite instrument is either soprano sax or alto sax. I would, however, recommend every woodwind player try a clarinet at least once.
This information hurts me as a clarinetist, that it had been sitting there for so long☹️
Same but to be honest it's the same for every instrument also his a saxophone player not a clarinet player
@@lolololololol369 I know he's a saxophone player...?
I mean it's in the channel name and I have watched this for ages lol
@@shritan0 no offense, I don't want to answer but I play saxophone and clarinet, and would like to play base
I do play in a community band tho
Man, I wanted to hear you play the clarinet a bit more though
Agreed
I really really excited every time you make a clarinet video. There is no clarinet youtuber that plays and make challenges but saxophone there are plenty. So when there is a clarinet video I really like it (I play clarinet if you didn't get It lol(
I just got a selmer as42 and hearing him say he actually liked it makes me so much more confident!!
Same honestly! I have an AS42B and I can't really find anything other reviews or anything on it so I was kinda curious what other people thought
6:45 omg I played that song for jazz band a few years ago
I just remembered it's called confirmation
Nathan might have one of my most favourite tones on Alto. Could listen to you play for hours man.
I always love trying out a variety saxes (and other instruments) at conventions like TMEA. That's how I found a bari from Buffet that I really liked back in college, though I never have been able to afford my own bari sax... 😢
Oh my goodness!!! The guy (Sidney/Mr. Oser) in your video used to be my middle school band teacher!! That's insane
MR OSERRRRRRR
AHHH
OSER?
ITS NEVER OSER
Oh shit, I was in FSU's Marching Chiefs and Seminole Sound (basketball pep band) with him! He's wearing his old uniform sweatshirt for Seminole Sound too! Geez, the world feels a whole lot smaller now.
I am so amazed at how he puffs up his cheeks and is still so good at the sax
You should seriously try my 500-ish clarinet mouthpieces sometime...
Especially while you're in Florida! I was just in at Music Man! What a great store 👍
5:12 sounded so much like the mario kart lick
Came for the clarinet, stayed for the sax tryouts
this man really flexed on all of us when he whipped out "Molly on the Shore"
My alto is an As42 and I love it is so responsive and the action feels a little better than the Yas62 in my opinion.
I just got an as42 and it’s coming in tomorrow
I just love to see these notifications
6:27 You didn’t just play *T h e L I C C* twice did you?
New vid idea!!!!
Blind fold yourself and see if you can tell the brand of horn by the feel and sound of it. !!!!
Thumbs this up!
I’m surprised after all that time it still worked. Very interesting video how unbelievable that poor clarinet was accidentally abandoned for 2 whole years but was forgotten until now what a life. I still gotta get my clarinet looked at, same with a few of my other brass and woodwind instruments!!…

Cool thing is that u r the reason I started loving instruments
You sound pretty good on clarinet my dude. 🤙🏾
4:32 hey that lick is from your Mario Kart 64 Rainbow Road solo! (it also might just be a very famous jazz quote please don't laugh at me I don't know)
I believe he incorporated the mario k lick and made it into his own mate! Nice ear, I noticed as well
Saw you at music man bro! So sick
1:01 man rlly hit us with molly on the shore🥵🥵🥵

Just casually busts out Molly on the Shore
The fact that I could have driven down to come and see you is mind-boggling, hahaha.
I found a tenor sax in my attic from 1949 that still played perfect after sitting there for 30 years
Leblanc clarinets are super good I love mine!
Is it working again?
It is :)
Oh my always wanted you to try my Eastman AS850. Now you know the secret to my mediocre tone.
4:22 imma need tht transription of tht😩
Legends still watch this superior content creator
5:54 I LOVE THIS PART THAT WAS SMOOTH!!
Playing on my band directors custom Z in high school was always a treat
He's back!
The suspension is killing me lmao
"holy crap"
yupp valid response to an eastman horn, those things are absolute killers. the 640s are freakin workhorses man
Eh the school gave me a choice between their Eastman and Yamaha and I did not like the Eastman
@@q12aw50 it was the school's.... also players are different, so i dont really care lol

Not him playing Molly on the shore😭

Adam is so cool
My old saxophone lasted in my grandparents attic for 50 years and it is still playable
Ive been there before, he helped me rent out my flute and trumpet
I heard Molly on the Shore and my heart skipped a beat

@@DaleFedele Pitch is definitely the biggest issue with it. I can take a few notes to a tuner, and you’d laugh. But the tone is so pure and unmatched.

Always great watching
lol I was in the marching chiefs with Sidney.
