SELMER BUNDY BASS CLARINET REVIEW PROFESSIONAL
My own experience with Bass Clarinets has been that of a doubling instrument, frequently playing Pierrot Lunaire, by Schoenberg, really the 20th Centure masterpiece for the two clarinets, Bb and Bass, and other such works or works such as the Hindemith Septet.fpr WW Quintet, Bass Clarinet and Trumpet.The performane were always in professional circumstances, either Carnegie Recital Hall in the Lucas Foss / Allan Sapp series of concerts or for radio broadcasts. (Rosario Mazzeo, my teach for 6 years and Bass Clarinetist with the Boston Symphony for 32 years designed that) Also be sure that you understand that the fingerings past the clarion can frequently use harmonic fingering for the best speaking and itonation. Then, make sure that you use a floor peg and that you try to use a bassclarint neck that has an turned-up end ppise which has the mouthpiece going into your mouth similar to you Bb. I use the C facing.) Also, please make sure that you understand that in general the reed you use on the Bass is much less resistant than that which you use on Bb. My own immediate response is to ask the reason for such a request.įirst, get a good Bass Clarinet mouthpiece. I found it quite interesting, as the question was for comparing the Ridenour Lyrique Bb clarinet and other French and Japanese instruments. On that basis, we have chosen two brands - one for the student and one for the professional.“Is anyone able to post some well-recorded soundfiles of the ridenour bassclarinet and a buffet or selmer for comparison?”Ī gentleman from Belgium posted this request on a “board” a while ago. And so our deliberations were borne out by a professional player. She replied with the exact instrument we were considering as the winner. So, we asked her what she recommended for students. We agreed, and then we asked why she didn’t use the other big brand, she told us.īesides her orchestra commitments, she also teaches. Therefore, we asked her what she used, and she told us.
We must confess we have taken a third party opinion on board here, and we know a professional clarinetist and called her up. But one is, in our opinion, better at the student market, and the other might have the edge with the pros. Two brands stand out, of course, they do. We are going to break with tradition here. Deciding which brand is the best is quite difficult. The difference is clearly outstanding, but then so is the price. Then we have also looked at some higher-level instruments. Some are obviously better than others for the student. We have looked at ten clarinets across a range of brands that have included student instruments. There are, of course, plenty of musical disasters hanging around you must be wary of. The materials used are a bit less than quality to keep the costs down, and generally, they are what you might describe as ok. They are often a bit vulnerable to intonation problems and obviously don’t sound as good. They fulfill a role in the market, are inexpensive, and provide an introduction to the clarinet. There are a lot of manufacturers who make very cheap options. An instrument that will grow with them at least part of the way up the ladder, If you don’t find that there may well be a lot of instrument changes. What you are looking for then is a brand that will suit the student at more than just entry-level. You could buy a professional instrument for a starter, but they might struggle with it. You want and need some quality, but it’s got to be sensible. Many people are not willing to spend a fortune early on. If you are talking about a student clarinet, then you have to give a little consideration to price. To a certain extent, the answer to the question of which is the best clarinet brand lies in what the clarinet is used for and who it is for. Only the price that will scare away all but those seeking this level of quality.But there are other clarinets in different keys. This is a B flat instrument, which is the most common key for orchestras and in general. It is hard-wearing and keeps its shine longer than other materials Nickel is a good material for the manufacture of the keys and rods. The standard 17 keys and the fittings are nickel-plated. This clarinet is manufactured from ABS, which is a thermoplastic polymer plastic material known to be hard-wearing. They are a range from the Cecilio company who specializes in manufacturing instruments for beginners at a very affordable price.
