i found some reeds were not too consistent in their behaviour, ie when i played through all 12 major scales, some reeds started to get slightly worse, that’s why my pdf questions were narrowed down to identifying a reed that always behaved the same, if not’s behaving the same all the time in a test, then you can’t rely on it to behave the same all…[Read more]

Thanks Leo, after trying out different reeds, i was trying to narrow it down as to the noticeable differences between all the reeds, and a comment column thinking which type of song it was better suited to, if i needed a different strength, or if not to buy that type of reed again.

Also, i wanted a pdf to look back on later on, to remind me how…[Read more]

Well played and solid sound!

very true

i bought a new mouthpiece recently, as i don’t know what reed and reed strength works with it, i bought 14 different reeds of the strength i normally play on my other mouthpiece.

And i was staggered to hear the difference in all the reeds, some suited to jazz, some suited to classical, and some suited for different styles of tunes. Not…[Read more]

i also needed to know if this way of sharing works – so thanks again

Thanks Mel,
it’s supposed to be a blank sheet that i can fill in when i retest 11 different reeds on my mouthpiece, to find which one works best with the ‘Michelle’ backing track.

but i also need to have a log of how each read behaves when i play through 12 Major Scales.

All the reeds are brand new, straight out the box, and with no tampering…[Read more]

can someone check the last link is working please? So i can tell if it is possible for me to share stuff.
thanks

What’s ETF stand for? Couldn’t find it online.

i used a gmail account awhile back, and got rid of it – as i was fed up with the sheer amount of googles privacy options i had to set off and on, for an e-mail address.

i’ll bear that in mind.

i’ve been playing Johnny’s Michelle on the Clarinet using a plasticover 3.5 reed and it sounds perfect.

That’s the tone i’m looking for on the Alto, so now, out of all D’addario and Vandoren reeds i’ve tested, i need to pick one that gets me the closest sound i want. It could be a slightly buzzy jazz tone or a deep mellow classical tone.…[Read more]

which do you find easier to learn

playing a new scale from memory?

or

playing a new Melody from memory?

What i find harder is the number of different scales that i can remember how to play from memory. At the moment all i can remember is how to play all 12 Major scales, i would struggle to recall all three types of Minor scales (next on the…[Read more]

am i saying, “if you can’t write a melody, then stick to playing Jazz or playing the Drums”

am i saying “Are different styles of music just defined by a specific drum pattern?”

am i saying “If you want to invent a new style of music, then you have to invent a new drum pattern no ones heard of”

am i saying “just make sure you sound great on…[Read more]

that guy reminds of Tom Jones, always name dropping…when i played with Elvis, when i played with.. OK, interesting if they are your hero’s.
