- Did you just get a brand new wooden clarinet? Congratulations. Now you need to break it in gently. Here's how.
I am not affiliated with any businesses mentioned in this video. My sentiments are, as always, untainted.
Who is Queen Reed?
Queen Reed is just a name that sounded good to me once when I was signing up for something musicky and didn't want to provide my real name. I am obviously not a queen. There is nothing I claim to rule, especially not reeds! And this rather presumptive title is at firm odds with the view I hold of myself as a performer, educator, creator, advocate, and occasionally (we've all been there), a complete imposter.
You, Me, We, have all had life and music experiences that help others when we share them. Along my way here, I have picked up a good deal about playing and teaching the barkystick we call the Clarinet. And when I zoom around the internet for help, advice, insight, I want the most specific, articulate help I can find. So this is what I offer - not only what works for me, but whenever I can figure it out, why and how I think it works.
Quite simply, Queen Reed wants to share everything she knows about playing, learning, and teaching clarinet with the hope that it will make your life easier, help you feel connected to others, build your knowledge - which is power, and enable you to get more and more joy out of your own barkystick.
Really useful -- thanks! I'm getting my first brand-new clarinet next week, and this is just what I was looking for.
I am so happy for you!!!
Just gave me an idea on how to check for leaks
Omg ty
My new A clarinet cracked when I got to the 50 Min week. Never played it too much. Absolutely gutted
Oh no! A repair person told me once that if a clarinet is going to crack, it's going to crack. But they also said it's always good to break it in slowly. I'm so sorry that happened to you. :(
@@queenreed373 yeah I think I'll just get it glued or pinned instead of getting an entire new joint
@@oliverpigram7054 Definitely worth a try first. I had a clarinet for years that had a through and through crack down the upper joint, even through a tone hole. After the repair work (pinned & glued) I couldn't tell and neither could anyone else!
