New Clarinet

Received my F. Arthur Uebel, key of A, Zenit clarinet in the mail today from Germany! Not only is this the nicest clarinet I’ve ever played, but it’s the first brand new clarinet I’ve ever owned. No one has played it but me! I got the full gold-plated keywork which not only looks beautiful, but if I’m practicing a lot I feel more comfortable touching it for hours day after day. I was so excited that I made an unboxing video. For your viewing pleasure:

On Tokyo Stroll I recorded myself on my Buffet Crampon R13 key of A clarinet and really enjoyed tracking that and getting my playing to be what I wanted for the piece. One of my goals is to improve my clarinet skills wildly, so that I can explore the clarinet’s sounds more fully in my pieces.

Currently working on: my next song ‘The Fox’ and Berklee ear training coursework
Listening to: Sly and the Family Stone
Excited about: my new clarinet!!
