Yeah, you're sort of green and wrinkly.

I didn't want to post my photo because then you would all know the truth--that I'm a tiny-weenie itsy-bitsy little person. And then sure enough, Evo makes fun of me! Actually, I'm just standing far, far, away--I look my best at a distance!Evo said:SOS, your picture is so tiny, what is the pixel size of the original you were attaching?
Much better! Now I can see you! Beautiful SOS!SOS2008 said:Really I was just kissin' butt and trying to make the file small per instructions--guess I went a little too far with it (I'm still not sure how large I should make this). So I'm trying again.
A melon squeezer huh? I always knew it.But like I said before, now Tribdog will know it's me who keeps moving his shopping cart at the grocery store. I've noticed he spends a lot of time in the melon section...
I'm sorry, trib. I fought myself from posting that for as long as I could, but temptation got the best of me.tribdog said:"...yes doctor, I thought I was much better as well. Once the name calling stopped so did the rashes. Then I heard the "C" word and everything came flooding back. The rashes, the night sweats, the urge to commit brutal acts. Oh but it is so squeezably soft, would you like to squeeze it?"

Of course! I have heard a saying that says that happy babies become happy adults. And, well, I thought that I was not very baby-friendly, but now having this "toy" I really have changed my mind and try to pass some time with him. Babies seem so innocent, it's a pity like they become so evil when they grow, like my sister saysDo you spoil your nephew rotten?
motai said:I did manage to pull off Moonlight Serenade though, and that is pretty difficult piece by anyone's standards...I still can't hit the crazy high notes consistently though.

As for the high notes, I have always found its all about supporting the air. Granted, I am a trumpet player, and know next to nothing about clarinets, but i assume the concept is the same.

Yer, and then you run across a break in a run before going up high again.motai said:That and it is very difficult to get used to fingering those notes, in that register things lose consistency and cross-fingering is needed, and cross-fingering by itself is awkward to get used to (just look at the altissimo range fingering chart for a clarinet ).
Agreed but support from the diaphragm is still needed.motai said:It is all too easy to hit a high note ... ... in embouchure style can completely change the tone of the instrument.
Well being a cornet/trumpet player myself I am not going to say anything but with Jazz you need to forget this problem and play louder. A clarinet will never match a trumpet but in the right range it can be hear and still sound great (unless you have some people that play above Top C ).motai said:Its probably why jazz clarinets are becoming more rare, its pretty tough to do. That, and there isn't much music out there anymore. I have to read off the tenor sax part, and oftentimes I have to take that up an octave so I can even be heard (and even then I am in the range of the trumpets). Provided that the lower-register clarinet sound can be heard in a jazz band (microphone is a must), it adds a really nice tone to the slower waltzes.

Ever heard Buddy Rich's band's recording of it? Greatness.
