Continuing Wood Mouthpiece Saga

Posted on November 7, 2022 by Chris Fagan • Leave a comment

Hey folks! Long time no see. I’ve been taking a break to travel in some friendly European countries where society is not failing as it is here in the US (due to the long-term effects of right-wing policies). More about where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing later, but for those of you tracking … Continue reading →

Hey folks, Strange thing happened the other day. I got a royalty check. Yeah I know. Incredible. As it turns out, all the $.000000002’s that the streaming services give you eventually add up to a two figure dollar amount that they finally send you. In this case, I got a boost on Spotify because I … Continue reading →

Hey folks, I stuck with clarinet last week and practiced some transcribed Chet Baker solos that sit really awkwardly across the break. Anyway, here’s what I came up with today. The video lapses and you can’t see it, but I was interrupted and had to stop to keep the kitten from attacking the mic (see … Continue reading →

Here’s a recording of the same tune with the Selmer Short Barrel I wrote about in the previous post. It was a C* originally and opened up to a E or and F by a mouthpiece dude here in the Northwest named Bob Carpenter. I can’t remember what the tip opening is.
