    As a clarinet player- try switching to vandoren reeds such as the v12 or v21 as they play so much better than rico. Also I bought that stand for $20 I can't believe I could have gotten a whole clarinet for another $40.

    • @MadMusicBand
      @MadMusicBand 17 часов назад

      I've had luck with both reed brands. I've found it's more about the individual reed vs which brand as long as you at least have a decent brand (Rico, vandoren, juno, lavoz, etc.).

    I had a Yamaha clarinet for a while and I could NEVER get the hang of it. My coworker was a woodwind player and she wizzed through the scales thus proving I was the problem. I let her keep it because I don’t have the right anything for woodwind. I’ll stick with kazoo.

    • @MadMusicBand

      Nothing wrong with rocking the kazoo! Clarinet is definitely not easy to start though, I've found alto sax to be easier to pick up as far as woodwinds go.

    Some little words of wisdom from a very experienced woodwind player. Align the reed much lower than you think you should, reed placement can often have as big of a difference in playability as the clarinet itself. As a studying band director, I totally get the struggle of dealing side instruments without knowing the little things :)

    I’ve spent over $100 on a used instrument one time in the past 33 years I’ve been playing. I picked up my latest trumpet (a mid 40s Reynolds) from eBay for $20 and it just needed some new felt and cork for the spit valves. My oldest son played a trombone older than my parents when he was in band and my youngest is starting next year with a late 60’s Conn. When I used to teach brass band at an inner city school, we used whatever we could get and played our hearts out. I can totally understand why a parent might choose one of these, and I wouldn’t ever call anyone out for it….but, I always recommended finding a used instrument at a pawn shop or thrift store first.

    • @MadMusicBand
      @MadMusicBand 5 дней назад

      Yup, I typically agree. It's tough though for someone who doesn't know what to look for or whether or not an instrument is actually worth getting if you don't know anything about instruments. An instrument like this may actually be "safer" for someone not in the know, but I agree if you can find someone to help you or a band director who can check over an instrument the used option is viable and often times a better deal.

  • @maymcpherson1079
    @maymcpherson1079 5 дней назад

    I will say, the one thing is that you should ALWAYS grease the tenan corks with your fingers. I see horns all the time with cork in all kinds of places it shouldn’t be, mostly tone holes, from people applying too much cork grease by using the stick rather than their fingers.

    • @MadMusicBand
      @MadMusicBand 5 дней назад

      Interesting, I had never heard that before. I feel like I actually used too much because I had to use my finger. Probably because I just had never done it that way before.

    • @maymcpherson1079
      @maymcpherson1079 5 дней назад

      @@MadMusicBand yeah, just take a thin layer on your finger and apply it to the cork works really well you don’t need much. Using your finger also allows you to add a small amount to the inside of the receiving joint if it’s way too tight or the instrument is new.

    I'd like to see you polish up the metal on the inner slide stockings with inexpensive automotive polish or something. Additionally, I would like to how it responds to slide cream (Yamaha Trombone Slide Lubricant is a personal fave). Lastly, I wish we could see how the plastic bone, and mouthpieces respond to loud playing for instances like in a marching band. Great video, hope your channel gets bigger. Keep up the good work! :)
