Hello,
I am a long time sax player adding Bb clarinet to my world. Not too long ago I bought out an old school district repair shop and had over 500 clarinets! Test playing them all has given me an in, and a taste for the amazing tone they have, and I kept a metal Regent Soloist model, (Much like a King) and a Paul Dupre wood model. I know neither one is stellar, but they serve my needs at this time well. Being so used to the saxes octave key, the clarinets' register key is a real stumbling block for me. ANyone have any suggestions as to how I can make the transition smoother, (other than just "practice practice")?
Thanks,
Peter.
