Thanks! Most certainly, the Ab clarinet is not an instrument that you just unbox and play well. My credo is treating each and every clarinet as a valuable instrument in its own right and not just as something exotic or even absurd. Just like every instrument, it takes a lot of time to work out certain fingerings and intonation; even just making a good sound is tricky, made in part all the more difficult but the fact that it’s so small. Glad you liked the video!
Hi! Can you tell me about the Ab clarinet you are playing, as well as what mouthpiece, ligature, and reeds you use? I used to own a Ripamonti Ab clarinet.
this sounds really awesome!! It must be difficult to play that good

bravo, jouer juste d'un si petit tube est un exploit !
Merci beaucoup!

Hi, it’s an original Leblanc instrument. Shoot me an email to discuss the rest.
