I don't know what is more beautiful if rhe Mozart' clarinet or you! 🌼

[@sergiocamilo9687]

Very good presentation of this old clarinet. Congratulations.

[@jeswartz2723]

I feel as though I really learned Lotz after watching this.

[@BoxwoodBrass]

Pun of the month. I've a feeling Mozart would laugh at this.

[@WalkOverHotCoal]

I am enlightened. Thank you very much. I have always into the history and the evolution of musical instruments. I am not a good musician by any stretch of imagination, but I do play quiet few instruments. I am more into the saxophones right now. One of my alto is a vintage Conn with a rather odd keys arrangement, but not too different to the modern ones. Despite its age, I actually quite like the sound produced by it. I think it has to do with the thicker brass body, judging by its weight. I am taking up the clarinet again two weeks ago. Now I find myself kept hoping that my clarinet would have the same open/close keys as the saxes. This is because my fingers got lazy and leave a tiny gap in the tune holes, thanks to my saxophone habit. Every now and then a sharp squeak reminds me that I am far from being any good at it.

Glad you enjoyed the video! Keep going with the clarinet, it will keep your fingers agile!

Thank you. Your lecture is clear, concise, and from my point of view fascinating. (Ditto for your lecture on the Chalumeau clarinet.) I recently watched a video featuring Lisa Beznosiuk, the principal flute of the OAE, and she referred to cross-fingering, which I did not understand. Now I do. More lectures please! And one could hope to hear you in the, say, the K. 498 or 581!!

[@BoxwoodBrass]

Thanks so much Gregory - that's really kind! Future concerts are posted on www.boxwoodandbrass.co.uk in case you're in the UK. And hopefully some more videos soon! EW

[@mpanga2916]

How can I get the books for the soprano chalumeau thnx

[@andresgagliardo4605]

Hi, I have five brass Keys clarinet, without the mouthpiece. Do you know where I can´t found a mouthpiece? or if it´s compatible with any ordinary mouthpiece? Thanks, Andres

[@BoxwoodBrass]

Hi Andres, it depends on the type of instrument. You can't use a normal modern clarinet mouthpiece, it will be too big and won't tune. Some makers of mouthpieces for early clarinets are Licostini in Italy, Agnes Geroult in Paris and Ed Pillinger in London. - EW

[@Rik77]

Ive seen a JC Bach manuscript with parts for 'clarinet d'amore". I presume that's a clarinet in A?

[@pierlucacialoni3324]

Rik77 It depends! For more info you can read here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarinette_d%27amour

Love your presentations, those instruments are heart warming and fantasy made real, much better than the modern replicants

[@tervaaku]

Do you know where I can find a recording of kegelstatt on historical instruments?

[@BoxwoodBrass]

Hi, yes there's a recording by Lorenzo Coppola, and one by Nicole van Bruggen. Also Ensemble DeNote have made a video: I can't find the full version but there's a clip here: Ensemble DeNOTE Kegelstatt Promo

[@Frankiebrownjrmusic]

Is there a cool name for this or is it still called the clarinet?

[@BoxwoodBrass]

We usually call it a 'Classical Clarinet'. Maybe it deserves a cooler name...
