My clarinet band kid when I stumbled on the first seconds of this video: NO. NO. NO. NOOOOO. THE FORBIDDEN BLUE CLARINET. NOOOOOOOOO. I forgot I made this comment 💀
Wow. I have a clarinet that I own that isn’t very good. It can make a clear sound at least on most notes (I don’t really play it often and if I do I don’t usually go above the G or A above the staff). Basically someone was gonna through out the clarinet so he brought it home, lent it to his sister who played clarinet, then when I started playing clarinet in school he got it back. The main things about the clarinet is the pinky keys stick a lot, especially the key for B when using the left hand, it takes a lot of effort to play the B with the left hand because it sticks. The corks are also very worn. And the worst of all is it is extremely flat, it’s probably about a quarter to half a semitone flat. Because of these problems I don’t play it often (it’s the only Bb clarinet I have to play, but I have a school bass clarinet and tenor saxophone).
It's either you or your reed. Sometimes when I get a bigger size reed it sounds like that. When I first started my Bb scale this is exactly what it sounded like. So basically it's not the clarinet. It's the player or the reed.
It could be all.. it’s the forbidden blue clarinet first of all, and he’s playing at such a high angle to where he’s nearly looking down at the clarinet, and since it’s the forbidden blue clarinet they may have given a forbidden reed
Try blowing more air and if when you turn your clarinet around make sure you can only see a little bit of the reed and if you see to much move it down a little bit and if it is too low move it up some that should help!😊 I an also 2nd chair in band so if that helps so you know I’m experienced so you know I’m not talking nonsense.
it’s the player roost of the time if that don’t work which the mouthpiece the body functions the same also the reed sounds dry like you didn’t moist it
Boy WTF you het a BRIGHT blue Clarinet from!!! But anyway where did you buy this. I NEED answer and you need more practice on this instrument. But I like the way you played the first few note that is until the end
Yeah maybe so, also based off of his full video, his clarinet seems to be poorly manufactured. By the way I watch your channel and I find you as quite an inspiration. Your videos also motivate me to practice more and to keep improving my skills as a 9th grade clarinetist. I like your videos and you are sounding great!
As someone who has played alto and tenor sax, flute, clarinet, oboe, and bassoon, I can say with certainty that it's definitely not the hardest. The embouchure and air control required is probably the easiest out of all of them, all registers speak cleanly without much effort, even altissimo. The fingering is also fairly simple, not as simple as sax or flute but trivial compared to oboe and bassoon. Imo oboe has the most difficult embouchure and air requirements, and bassoon has the most difficult fingering. Overall I'd say oboe is probably the hardest, with bassoon a close second, then flute, then tenor sax, then clarinet, then alto sax.
@@aloysiusdevadanderabercrombie8 man everyone says oboe is hard, I'm guessing its just me or I got lucky reeds because oboe is honestly a breeze in comparison to learning flute. I'm gonna admit and say that I haven't really played clarinet much except for a tiny demo, but I've determined its difficulty based on how much literally all the clarinetists in my school's orchestra struggle to play their instruments. Intonation is always flat, and they sound super airy. Reed/double reed instruments I believe are more reliable. Because you've got options if it doesn't work: 1. change your reed. 2. change your mouthpiece/ligature setup. For flutists, you're stuck with whatever you've got. Lips too dry or wet? crappy tone. Haven't played for like a week? crappy tone. Same thing honestly applies to brass. The condition of your lips dictates how good your sound is, which arguably makes these instruments so temperamental. In terms of which instrument is easier to learn, well no one can say for certain because obviously your second instrument will be quicker to learn than your first most of the time. I would theorize that double reeds would be the hardest to "learn" for like the first time and get a good sound. But man flutes and brass are just a nightmare to maintain your skills
Bro u stolled my clarinet but the steal is fake gold but I play that type of clarinet and I'm the best one in my school my clarinet row has better clarinet then me HOW TF
