Mastering The Eb Clarinet with Jessica Phillips

[@ashleyavila6294]

A video with other alternate fingerings would be great!!! :D

[@brandnskenandore7]

Hey this is awesome since Ive recently bought an Eb clarinet and I'm very excited to start playing it

[@katieclaire5910]

Brandon Skenandore where do you buy an E flat clarinet

[@brandnskenandore7]

KrazyKatie i honestly went online and bought mine, despite how long it took me to get it, the great tone was worth it

[@lrzhi]

Katie & Claire depending on where, it’s actually pretty cheap. Around $100 for it on Australian EBay. :)

[@adrienthewitchcraftteacher4940]

@@lrzhi the cheaper one like $100 are very very out of tune. Trust me the middle register C was 76 cents sharp.

[@lrzhi]

Logan Whiting Oof ahah I realise that now, cheap instruments defs show it through the tone. Forgot abt this comment

[@LowReedExpert1]

The picc is so rare so many people nowadays call the Eb a picc, But it is a sopranino

[@ZiSlepovitch]

In Europe, the birthplace of the clarinet, they call Eb clarinet a piccolo clarinet - clarinetto piccolo (in Italian) or petite clarinette in French. it is a legitimate name that includes a subfamily of high clarinets, D to Ab. In the English-speaking world, both "sopranino" and "piccolo" names are used (with the preference for "sopranino" in the US).

[@Aviationhub]

What an informative video! I really learned some good fingerings and techniques! Does anyone know the Eb model she is playing on? :)

[@ngtamphuong]

IMO it's a sopranino. The Ab clarinet is the piccolo.

JESSICA ERES FANTASTICA,GRACIAS POR DELEITARNOS CON TUS MARAVILLOSAS NOTAS ¡

[@Usefulmusic]

Ted Planas made the acoustic design of the Lyons C Clarinet. He insisted on using the same bore as a modern E flat clarinet, which turned out to be, as near as dammit, the same bore as C clarinets of the early 1800s. The tuning of the Lyons is near perfect when using standard clarinet fingerings. By analogy, if modern E flat clarinets had the smaller bore of early 19C E flats, their tuning may also present fewer problems.

[@scotthouston9338]

If the Eb is a piccolo, then what is the Ab ? The Eb and D are usually described as sopraninos or high sopranos.

[@whosaubrey7524]

the eb is actually not the piccolo clarinet, the ab is. the ab’s are so rare nowadays that some people make the mistake of calling the eb piccolo.

[@derrickweaver9335]

@@whosaubrey7524 The Eb is actually the piccolo member of the clarinet family. Piccolo and Eb Clarinet are both the most difficult members of their families. Eb and Piccolo usually play the same part. And because Ab Clarinet is so rare,Eb Clarinet is the only candidate that can be the piccolo member of the clarinet family.

[@DividingInfinity]

@@derrickweaver9335 they’re most definitely not the hardest of their respective families.

[@derrickweaver9335]

@@DividingInfinity Eb Clarinet is the hardest in the common clarinet family. And Piccolo is the hardest in the common flute family.

[@ourcollabchannel7706]

I dont have much experience, but i have perfect pitch and have been watching e flat clarinet videos. I play b flat tho. Is the middle register on the eb (all fingers with register key) the same as the low register on the bb?

[@purplemushrooms9239]

The middle register on the Eb clarinet is the same as the middle register on the Bb it's just slightly higher pitched :) The fingerings for the notes are the same

[@max.fictional]

Oh man. I really want a sopranino clarinet >.

[@max.fictional]

Update: I got one XD

[@bosslady4440]

Omg please tell how

[@toby2512]

yo ima do this too and in a year magically get one >.

[@austinlea3720]

ugh that is very rude and wrong to say. she plays beautifully, and telling by the nice comments i think u know that. She is now my idol! XD

[@Cheeseswissstyle]

tulipwood barrel!

[@bandgeekFH903]

If its not common then it technically shouldn't be counted and they have a similar relationship with the flute and piccolo how the piccolo is much harder to play, making the e flat clarinet the piccolo of the clarinet family:D

[@looney1023]

LEVER DU JOUR! :)

[@leotard2536]

Ironically, the long B that your fancy bell tries to correct made it sharp (5:27).

[@leotard2536]

Eb is definitely not the piccolo. That's the Ab.

[@ZiSlepovitch]

It sure is- part of the "small clarinets" subgroup. Please study the subject.

[@leotard2536]

@@ZiSlepovitch I mean, the C clarinet is also "small" in relation to the Bb, but we still call that a soprano

[@ZiSlepovitch]

@@leotard2536 correct, C is a soprano indeed. However everything D and up is considered Clarinetto piccolo/ petite clarinette, which is ALSO called sopranino in the anglophone countries.

[@leotard2536]

@@ZiSlepovitch OK. Well, we are speaking English, so it's a bit odd to argue that we should be using naming conventions from other languages.

[@ZiSlepovitch]

@@leotard2536 The term "piccolo clarinet" is applicable to and used with regard to the D and Eb clarinets in the anglophone world as well (as "sopranino"), this is not my invention, it is a fact of the clarinet community and scholarship's life.

[@whoitisnot]

Talks at length about pitch and then immediately plays Bolero 25 cents sharp. Well, at least she was mostly in tune with herself!

[@TheodoreBrown314]

Quite possible that could have to do with her orchestra tuning higher than 440 Hz, though

[@whoitisnot]

@@TheodoreBrown314 At 444 it would be close. Does the Met play that high?

[@TheodoreBrown314]

​@@whoitisnotNo idea, I don't even know it for the orchestras in my own country (Australia) 😅

wtf

great sound and info! btw you're beautiful;)
