Tuning and Voicing the Clarinet: Techniques and Procedure - Clark W Fobes |

I soon learned that Mr. Howland was not only an extremely accomplished clarinetist and teacher, but that he possessed a complete knowledge of woodwind acoustics. In fact, he taught a class in musical acoustics with one of the Physics professors.

In his reply, published later that year, James Collis explained that the technique was then still practised in Italy, and that he had even heard two such clarinettists perform in his native America.

Reeds - How to care for them and to improve their response |
|
|
|
by Floyd Williams
The purpose of this article is not to outline a detailed, complex method for fixing clarinet reeds. This has been done and is still being done by a number of writers on this subject. Some of the books which describe reed-fixing are listed in the bibliography. They should all be read because it is necessary for every clarinettist to understand a variety of ideas to arrive at their own approach to working on reeds. Here are some simple, but effective procedures which will make more reeds respond better and last longer. For the complete article please click here |
