Hiya @Jeff !

Are you the lovely gentleman that had posted a gorgeous air here on site just a few years back and i was really rude to you being at that time and i actually went so far as say to your song sounded tonally like, 3 Blind Mice?! Can you believe it. The audacity!

Please understand i still feel tragiclly upset about my unconstructive…[Read more]

hi @Jeff,
That’s funny about the clarinet ligature, weeks ago, i bought a new ligature for my Clarinet, and i when i got home, i compared it to one of my Alto Ligatures – turns out it is the same brand, same make and both are exactly the same. both are designed for classical mouthpieces.
