1:55 is my favorite

Couple of things about the Backun Alpha. Standard rubber thumb pads don't fit this thumbrest. Also, I find the pinky keys on the Alpha, especially the right hand ones, to be too high and make it harder to cover the holes reliably. And, I think that, overall, the spring tensions could be lighter, especially for less experienced players. I have Buffet clarinets that were set up by Brannen Woodwinds and the Clarinet Center, and most of the keys are set lower, especially the pinky keys, that on the Alpha, and the spring tensions are lower as well, though, in my experience, most professional model clarinets come from the factory better set up for the average player than the Alpha. I know the Alpha is technically a student instrument, but its keys and overall sound are near professional quality, and I think this instrument deserves more attention to the set-up than the average student instrument, though of course there is an extra expense in that.

The partituras??? Plisss

what make is the clarinet reed case?

thank you for posting this helped me know how my solo goes at letter E (3rd clarinet)

'You might be in high school, you might be in college', or you might be in your 30s (and a high school teacher!) and never touched a reed instrument before and is self teaching! Thanks Laura for this video, really helpful. Clarinet KZbin is pretty limited - there's definitely room here for someone who's a great teacher like yourself to do more like this.

Soy de Argentina y nuestra profe de música nos mostró esto, belleza total 💕

D'Addario is correctly pronounced: Daddario.

I tried one of these some years ago a found one of the notes was so stuffy as to make the instrument unusable for me. I think it was the C#/G#. Also, the instrument arrived (from another dealer, not directly from Backun) with the bridge mechanism badly out of alignment. Perhaps these were just isolated manufacturing defects and not an indication of generally poor quality control (you obviously got a good instrument), but it put me off trying another one.

MUST HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE TO EDIT ALL THIS

As a bassoonist and contrabassonist, those bassoons at the start of the song are powerful

The shop doesn't work! How do we get the sheet music?

🔥

I am a student in the Moncton youth orchestra and we are playing the full suite, it’s beautiful 😊

Michael lowenstern is my favorite bass clarinet and composer in Brooklyn and I want to see him this year!

Wow. I just got a Yamaha 221 II. 2,500 is what paid for it I wanted Buffett bass but I just can’t due to the 13,000 for it. I’m so glad you were able to get very nice professional bass.

what did you use to put all the audio together?

Will it Sound good, if I just play one of Them? Maybe an undertone?

A blank is cane that has been cut to the right size but hasn't had the vamp fully cut into it yet. The part you are calling the vamp is actually the stock.

Strength is NOT about thickness - it's about density of cane which is determined at the factory (at least for Vandoren) by testing the flexibility of the tip with a puff of air. Yes, you can make a reed softer by thinning the tip, but that is not how it works on the manufacturing end.

where is the bottom???

❤❤❤

this hit’s different without percussion…

i play the trombone

Remember playing this in my senior year of Highschool. My favorite song I ever played. Fun to B.Bone

I almost feel like there is a small change at 2:44.

Did this song in my concert band, twas fun

Why did my dumbass think the guy in the bottom far left corner at 0:31 was playing a pumpkin 💀

I play Bass Clarinet and this sounds amazing!!! I love how cleanly each of the parts come together in this! Beautiful!! ❤

The excitement is infectious!

У кого есть ноты Гари Потера? Уже ищу и всё равно не то.

Dang how long that take

Please where can I find the score I really want to play this for a thing for my school. Pleaseeeee

This is such a fun song, my band is currently playing it for our upcoming concert later this month!

we're bringing the clarinet back baby! awesome work!

It's beautiful, no sheet music?

❤❤❤

Lindo, muito lindo ❤

I am very confused, is this the same as a fall? If not whats the difference and how do I do it.

Sou estudante de clarinete no Brasil muito top o glissando na rhapssody Blue

Another information that I actually want to know after the upgrade is the convenience of the keys. This is something we can't feel as the audience, but clearly something that most people forget. For an untrained ear they would probably find there is not much difference in the sound after the upgrade or "why upgrade for a so subtle difference in sound".

Nice video and here I thought #1 was going to be "a clarinet or two" lol

Thank you so much! This is like the 5th video I have watched and I finally got it!

Awesome

I always want to actually conduct a clarinet choir like this lol

THANK YOU so much. I was practicing this and didn’t remember how it sounded
