Hello everyone,
This is my first post here, and I’d like to share the direction of a project I’ve been developing around clarinet barrels — not from a traditional craftsmanship perspective, but through applied physics.
Instead of focusing on external design or conventional assumptions, I’ve...
Guter Mond (Good Moon, kinda appropriate at the moment) on clarinet. Its been a while since I played clarinet but I got it set up, ran through some Rubank exercises and I learned that while clarinet is hard to play, its also hard not to play. So I played a german song I'd previously learned on...
Yesterday I won on EBay this clarinet for $66 US total, manufactured in Paris, France. It is being shipped from Saint Louis, Missouri. Reason why I "pulled the plug" was it was complete with case, neck and mouthpiece, seller had 100% feedback. Cosmetically it was in decent reasonably clean...

Hello! I'm rather new here and maybe this isn't the correct place to ask this, but I am having a bit of a problem. I am a woodwind instrument repair technician, and I am currently in the process of overhauling a Buffet A Clarinet, and I came across something odd. My mentor wasn't sure what to...
Hi!
I’m a high school student buying a new clarinet and I found the Yamaha YCL-255S at an affordable price. My high school music requires me to play a lot of high notes including some of the altissimo register. I’ve heard that this model is meant for beginners and intermediate and was just...
Concert band is starting up this year again for high school, and my band teacher gave me a really nice bass clarinet. The only problem is, the neck makes the mouth piece almost 100% horizontal, and the looseness of the mouthpiece and neck also make it fall.
Before when I played in middle school...
I have just bought pre R13 serial 44xxx and I also have a newer E13 serial K171xxx, both are near mint and made in france. I am thinking in selling one of them, Which one should I keep?
• Does anyone know about a YCL CS that has no "Custom" engraved on it as in the picture attached?
• How much is this clarinet worth?
I tried to find info about it but cannot find any, even in pictures. All I can find is that the YCL CS seem to have always the "Custom" engraved...
It has CS...
Hey!
As a teenager I played the Oboe for 5 years, until the time I finished school. For time reasons I had a break of almost 10 years. I wanted to start again, but I had a diaphragmatic hernia.. Since there is a slight risk of recurrence due to the high pressure in the abdominal area while...
I own a used Vito Reso-tone bass clarinet. I've taken it to two different repair techs. The first tech said he repaired the bent keys and leaking pads. Unfortunately, the poor guy didn't do it right, so I had to bring it back to him. He still didn't know how to fix bent keys and didn't see that...
Hi all,
I am interested in playing Adagio from Moonlight Sonata and as a relative newbie am curious what grade this would be considered?
Regards,

I know absolutely nothing about clarinets but seen this at a yard sale and picked it up for $15. After looking at it the only thing I could find on it was Selmer Paris; HS; Made in France, on the mouthpiece and the number 44548 on what I am going to call the barrel. Any information would be...
Hi! I just want to preface this by saying I'm not an actual clarinet player. I've played the flute for 12 years.
So, I found an old clarinet while cleaning up a family garage. The brand is Buffet and has closed holes. It's completely plastic and a little musty tbh. Does anyone know anything...
I'm looking for any and all vintage Leblanc sales catalogues, ads, pricelists, posters, reviews, articles, etc., specifically from the 1930s-1970s, but I'll also gladly take more recent things too. If anyone has any pdfs, links, or hard copy I'd be very grateful to know about it either here or...
Hi there, I'm in need of some advice and any help would be appreciated!
I have just started university, studying music and I am in need of an A clarinet. I have a Bb and have played the Eb and A but never have owned one as I used to borrow them from my music centre.
However, as I have started...
