Thomann prices might benefit some people, but it's better to look at local store prices first. If Thomann or other online stores are cheaper, go ahead and buy from them.

Pellumb Woodwinds, a local store in Athens, Greece nearby me has them cheaper. 22 euro for a traditional box of 10 and 28 euro for all other Vandoren professional reeds(V12, V21, 56) box of 10. Prices go accordingly to one piece, 2,20 euro for traditional, 2,80 euro for the professional Vandorens.

What mouthpiece are you using with Vandoren 2 1/2 traditional reeds?

Thank you very much, I like your down to earth advice for clarinetists.

That is soooo real 😭😭😭😭 me everyday

Sheesh. I agree if you're looking to take the clarinet to the farthest of your potential then with that kind of singleness of mind you will get out what you put in. Put in 6 hours a day that is going to take you places the 1 hour a day can't come close to touching. For me though becoming a professional player is not in my future as long as I am married with 4 kids and am already heavily involved in many disciplines. But then that's not my goal either. I play to minister to others and I do what I can to better enable myself with what time I can offer. When I was young I was only required 2 hours a week to practice for my school orchestra. I met the minimum requirement a d naturally I did not advance much. Now I am 33 with a life packed full of responsibility but yet I manage to practice my alto sax or clarinet 1-2 hours a day and I have advanced in the last few years far more that I ever did when when I was young.

I didn't know the standard way

Thank you Fabian. This video is so helpful for my practice routine as a beginner. You’re very generous and explicit with this theory. I’m so grateful for your teachings 😊

What orchestral piece is this?

I really like the D'addario RMP01C Reserve Mouthpiece patches. Clear .35 . I tried the thick ones, you can't get a good embouchure seal around the corners of your mouth. These really last too.

Me every rehearsal 😂

Thank you for this recommendation. I was using .8 and they always felt soft. I tried these and love them. No more spongy feeling. It feels like I’m not using a patch at all and is more comfortable.

What is the clarinet you play, is it a buffet?

Air inhalation DOES naturally reduce as one inhales. This is not wrong or improper. Just do whole-body exercises to increase the demand for oxygen. That is all the respiratory conditioning one needs. No gimmicky breathing gadget is required. Use the nose for inhalation as much as possible. "Fast" air is actually a reliability. You probably are referring to flow. Not speed.

Is the Reed Geek just an alternative for the same usecases? Would you recommend one over the other (Reed Geek vs Reed Resurfacer)? Looking forward to buying one of the two...

Muy bien Fabián,

I don’t understand lol. Are we actually saying “Duh” syllable in our mouth. If we are it delays the airstream

I really enjoy your expert videos! Mini power-packed technic clips 🎶

Hi. For about a year now, I've noticed that my neck hurts when I play the clarinet (especially when I play staccato or with my tongue). Like veins appear on my neck and my face gets red. And also the main problem is that I can't play staccato faster than 110-120, and in the same concertino by Weber I have very mediocre staccato passages. Also, there is such a problem that everyone around me says that I should put the tip of my tongue on the tip of the reed for fast staccato, but I don't understand what I should feel when I do it right. I would appreciate it if you could help me.

Slay loving the clarinet same thing I play

WHERE WERE THESE WHEN I WAS LEARNING COPLAND 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bien

Thank you some much for another gread video! you mentioned, that the reeds shouldn't be soaked or exposed to too much water. Does it mean, after playing washing them with a theethbrush isn't a good thing? Do you put them back into the case directly after playing? Thanks

Could you do a video on how to tongue notes faster? I struggle with fast runs just end up slurring them.

Could you do a Video on the “fundamentals” of clarinet playing ? #URtheRFofclarinet

I had a problems with that reed case. 1. The reeds would slide to the end be damaged. 2. No matter how i cleaned them after playing even with the humidity pack, they became moldy. Now what I do is use the Rico vented sleeves tied in a group of five with elastic band as a reed gaurd. Before each performance I wet the reeds in water, then put my makeshift reed guard in a sealable plastic sandwich bag. When the gig is over the makeshift reed guard is let out of the bag. These vented sleeves that the D'addario reeds come in are perfect for storage...and they'e plentiful . I've been doing this for several years now and it works for me. No mold or damaged reeds.

You are simply brilliant, I appreciate you’re advice and presentation so much, I’m daz from Australia, having come back to clarinet after decades out, I have learned so much and been awakened by the information on you tube channels from professional musicians, huge thank you, already my tone is vastly better than before I’m daz from Australia thank you

You are the best!!!!!!!!

I´m 23, your advices were really good! thanks for sharing yoir own experience. I need tu create a serious daily routine :)

💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

another gem, thank you!

wow

Thank you so much for your valuable content! How do you cycle through your reeds? Certain amount of playing time per reed then switch to the next one? Or some sessions with the same reed?

I learn a lot from you, young man!

Honestly, of those 6/10 reeds that aren’t good enough, you might as well work on the front of those reeds to learn and get comfortable with doing so, they’ll get trashed if you don’t anyways.

I'd extend this beyond opera singing to be honest. Every periods vocalists are going to have a different style and expression. Using the way they voice can really inform how you should be expressing yourself.

I like V12s the best but 3+ strength doesn't exist which would be the perfect strength for me.

If you could get Thomann to sell 10 packs instead of single piece reeds, that would be very nice :). I have tried both reeds and I slightly prefer V12 to traditional, but will play both (2,5 strength). I like your videos! Nice to see a European clarinet player make videos! Keep up the good work <3

I started on the traditional , moved to the V12, and now play the 56 Rue Lepic. I find the 56 was the easiest for me to play. I can get the altissimo easier than on the other ones and I get a better range of dynamics without sounding airy on the softer side. As I get better I may change again.
