What I did on my spring "Vacation"

[@lylek8933]

Been playing my Bb Lyrique for the better part of a decade. I agree; hard rubber is much better than grenadine. Keep up the great work, Tom. :)

[@coloraturaElise]

Tom, you are the ONLY person in the industry who cares enough about your customers to make an offer like this, and it's because you want everyone to have a great instrument! Who else does that? And it's because you're NOT an elitist, and that's why the elitists make fun of you---your sincerity shines through and shows them up for who they are.

Glad to see you back.☺️

Hello Tom - You are always there for us!

[@jgarza00]

As an owner of 2000 - 2004 Bb and A Opus models I’m so happy for your announcement! They are my life and I can’t wait to try your improved designs!

[@tedridenour5275]

We'll have the both new models, Libertas II and AureA, available in Bb and A within the next 10 days or so. Whenever you're ready to trial them just give us a call and we can set that up for you.

@@tedridenour5275 thank you for the heads up!

[@pmwizard48]

Tom, I bought the Noblissima with the MT-36 mouthpiece last December. I can’t put it down to play my other instruments. It is so much fun and the mechanisms work so well, playing is effortless. Thank you for making affordable, great playing clarinets.

thank you SO MUCH for trusting us and helping keep us keeping on!

[@RichardMigneron]

How about complementing your line of clarinets with a Basset horn ?

[@billyboy647]

Possible. Gonna take a bit as we have other projects we need to do first but it's something we'd like to do.

[@RichardMigneron]

Ok. I've searched a bit, could only find 3 manufacturers of Basset Horns : Selmer & Buffet at over 11 K€ and Wurlitzer even higher priced. From what I read on the net, Jared de Leon says the Selmer as a very outdated ergonomics. All the videos I saw so far use a Buffet. Anyway, if you can bring the price down close to your Bass clarinet, that would be a total game changer.

[@billyboy647]

@@RichardMigneron That's the goal. Can't guarantee it happens but we're gonna try.

[@lucyyockey]

@@billyboy647 Perhaps a low C bass clarinet??👀

[@billyboy647]

We also offer flexible 0% financing on all of our clarinets allowing customers to break up the total over as many as nine months after a down payment. So if you're interested in trialing the Low C but money is an issue to some extent give us a call and I'm sure we can work something out. We do our best to make our instruments as affordable as possible.

Will you be offering an Eb clarinet ?

[@billyboy647]

Possible but not in the immediate future. If it does happen it will be at least a year.

[@emjay2045]

@@billyboy647 what about an Eb mouthpiece ?

[@rhythmharmony2923]

The usual difference in density in wood clarinets between upper and lower joint, is it because of the more conical course the bore takes compared to German clarinets? Are German clarinets easier to tune correctly?
