Hello,

My name is Marty Matisoff. I started playing the clarinet again after a 43-year hiatus. I was surprised to learn just how strong muscle memory is. I'm looking forward to the day when I can play in a trio or an ensemble.

Howdy.

Welcome, small ensemble work can be really fun. Are you playing an instrument from 43 years ago?

Clarinet

Welcome, small ensemble work can be really fun. Are you playing an instrument from 43 years ago?

I'm playing a Yamaha 20 I picked up about 6 mo. ago. When I first starting taking lessons, I played a no-name wood clarinet. Once I feel confident in my playing skills, I'd like to buy a Yamaha SEV or CSG.

FWIW, you might be blown away by some of the recently-produced -- and now fairly cheap on eBay -- Yamaha clarinets. You might even find that one of the older intermediate models are more than good enough. Unless you really want to spend lots of $. Hey, I just bought a computer today, so you could send me some of the extra $ ....
