Haha. Do you mean that you put it underneath the right and tap the ring back on very gently? As long as the rings are tight-like won’t spin at all-you are in good shape. If the tape is over the ring and/or holding the ring on the the clarinet - tell your friend that is not a great solution

@@charlie70605 I am glad you have decided to restart your clarinet playing! Consider checking out the clarinet ninja dojo:) www.clarinetninja.com/dojo-landing There is a calendly link for some free time on that page. Feel free to book a time so you can ask me anything you want to and play some clarinet!

@@johnkotches8320 I agree. Holding a note out for a long time without specific attention, intention, and direction is a pretty silly endeavor. I have a lot of long tone exercises that are much more than just holding a note. I am in complete agreement with you

Thank you! :)

that is an elegant solution, and one i am sure I could still mess up! lol

There are some benefits to OCD...I only get ocd about very certain things. Maybe that's the nature of the disorder?

OCD for the win, ​@@clarinetninja.

I read that as if you were Spicolli

@@clarinetninja I hoped you would.

I am not able to connect this comment to the content of the video. Thanks for watching!

@clarinetninja Not to worry. The life of reeds are a different subject, I realize. Funny little bit of grass, ain't they.

I am 99 percent sure that there are now rails on the pocket 6. If I had to pick one I would pick the six because its so incredibly portable. I also like the pocket 10 because of its form factor

It's been so long - I can't remember :( Continuing that idea - I have been playing on a Behn mouthpiece that he developed after this video was made and there will be another video about it soon!

@@clarinetninja Cool, looking forward to that. Is it in Medium?

@@ekjellgren I am looking forward to knowing! Brad handed it to me at the convention in August. I am not sure what the facing is, but it plays (somewhat) like a BD4 or BD 5 without the thick rails.

I have one Mopane and one Delrin with a blue ring. Still love them both

@@clarinetninja Did you chose Behn or Moenning on the Delring?

@@ekjellgren I think I went with the Behn. It plays similar to the Mopane - when I do videos like that, there is so much shuffling of equipment after its over I can get confused. It takes so much attention while I am doing it, my mind shut off for a bit afterward!

@@clarinetninja I'd be very happy to see those raw files if you still like to share them!

@ I dont know if I have any of the files from that video anymore :(

This is a good question. Before I read you question - I did not have anything to suggest. I have gone down the rabbit hole here. The challenge, as I see it, is to find something small enough to fit inside the case (perhaps even in the same place you were already putting it). The first suggestion will fit inside the case but not the same location:amzn.to/40JvQGQ I wonder if the velcro is enough to stop the problem? This bag would allow your mouthpiece to live where it always has, but I wonder how sealed it needs to be in order solve the problem you are trying to solve. www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/BGPG--bg-pg-mouthpiece-pouch-microfiber?mrkgadid=&mrkgcl=28&mrkgen=&mrkgbflag=&mrkgcat=&acctid=21700000001645388&dskeywordid=92700080611701409&lid=92700080611701409&ds_s_kwgid=58700008756205263&ds_s_inventory_feed_id=97700000007215323&dsproductgroupid=2316293783409&product_id=BGPG&prodctry=US&prodlang=en&channel=online&storeid=&device=c&network=g&matchtype=&adpos=largenumber&locationid=9004077&creative=709932566294&targetid=pla-2316293783409&campaignid=21584506524&awsearchcpc=1&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAy8K8BhCZARIsAKJ8sfTBzT-iin7N-eoCbCJnyjeFKu7fj-2I1JI-XZXnuXIXmfvN-GqvxL0aAucBEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Those are the places I would start. I wish I had direct experience with something that I could speak more confidently about.

I always use the same sandpaper that I would use for my reeds. I would NOT suggest this - only because that is far to fine and it takes a while. Maybe 80-120? I have only used sandpaper on reeds. I am an apartment dweller with absolutely no traditional "work around the house" skills. Seroiusly none. That cork always needs to be sanded...so I stepped up to that but it took longer than it should because I used 400 grade sandpaper

Thanks for the insight on that! I can only infer things about instruments that I have not played myself. It's great to have confirmation on that :)

How do you like it?

@@faeriesmak It is a beautiful horn and sounds good to me. However, I've only ever played on one other model so not much to compare it to. Plus that was in the 80s and it was an old plastic Boosey and Hawkes Regent. I took a chance and couldn't justify anything more expensive...happy so far!!

Thank you kiddo! I love you 🩷

Thanks! I am pretty geeky with this stuff. I will be geeking out more soon

I am challenged with operating my website...I thought I had that fixed! sorry about that www.clarinetninja.com/forms/2148907086

that didnt fix it...I will get it...hold on a sec

www.clarinetninja.com/forms/2148907086 would you let me know if this works?

@@clarinetninja no unfortunately it does not work. Again no permission etc

@@OlgaStreurman I think I got it now! www.clarinetninja.com/right-hand-study-1 if you dont mind reporting back - that would be incredible...I don't want to be messing up so much

HiI Rocco! I am glad to hear that you are still at it. I will make a video about this topic - thank you for asking the question and providing me with a great idea. In general terms, a more open mouthpiece with a less resistant reed is going to be more flexible. I would think cane reeds would be better than synthetic. What setup are you currently using?

@@clarinetninja I recently got a Vandoren 5RV lyre and am using Rico 2.5 reeds, though I'm experimenting with Vandoren 3's.

@@roccoliuzzi8394 The 5RV Lyre is a great mouthpiece...I find It to be literally in the middle of the mouthpiece world. It is a wonderful place to be. I am not sure which Ricos and Vandorens you are moving to and from, but that should be just about right to get some flexibility without it being too crazy

Please get the pdf so you can take all the time you want:) it is difficult to pace things sometimes

Kiddo! As soon as the dentist says it's ok, I will teach you everything I know about the clarinet :)

If you are getting everything you want out of your plastic clarinet that's great! I don't agree that the benefits of a wood clarinet are "dubious" - but if you want to hold an opinion that essentially characterizes every historically great and presently great clarinetist as an idiot for using a wood clarinet I won't stand in your way

@clarinetninja all I'm saying, as a total noob, is that every pro on here says the benefit of the fancy stuff is that it's a "tool that doesn't get in the way of the vision". So here are six different ways that an expensive wood clarinette can randomly fail if you don't do the following six steps every time you take it out of the case and you better not be in a hot or cold or dry or wet climate or outside or having a fever or doing ket or more than 100 miles from the nearest certified clarinette technician. It is normal for humans to develop magical thinking about this kind of thing. I've seen it in photography with the lens coating conspiracy. It's a well known phenomenon in wine tasting. I even bought a blackberry after the iPhone came out. I do appreciate the content!

Thank you!

Thanks Alvaro!

I have never studied Alexander technique formally, but I have been to a couple of classes and know many people that teach it. It is a terrific practice and I am sure had some influence on my ideas in this video. I have to remember NOT to pay attention to this when I am playing for real because it's a sure fire recipe to mess things up! I practice it and hope that it works its way into my unconscious:)

Your English is fantastic. You should hear me destroy the French language. It would be laughable if not so sad. The French Cut Legere matched up very well with the strength of the V12's. I don't know what reed you are using, but use that as somewhat of a starting place. I have always enjoyed playing the legeres a little more resistant that cane reeds because the resistance is so even and cooperative. Would you please let me know how it goes?

Thank you! I ordered a number 3. I will get it on December 31st. I am impatient to try it. I wanted to order directly from Légère because I understand that you can exchange but they send only to Canada and USA. About cane I was playing with V12 number 3 but once you switch to plastic it’s impossible to go back to cane (for me).

@@Neville8888 I have switched back twice! you can do it too (if you were to want to!)

@@clarinetninja I’m playing in a carribean workshop and the « teacher » gave me a v12 3 so I will definitely try it! But with cane it was so hazardous! 🤞

@@Neville8888 I don't agree that a cane reed is hazardous :) I live a wildly hazardous life if that's the case!

Hi Jeff! I am out of my sphere of expertise with the valuation of Backuns. I would think that modeling the percentage off the purchase price that goes along with other clarinets. Outside of that (which you probably already thought of) I would be uncomfortable speaking with authority on that

Hi Richard! It is indeed a V12 but it feels quite comfortable for me. A balanced reed with the right support/voicing and I love it! Thanks for watching and commenting

Thank you! :)

I think circular breathing is really cool. I do not do it. I do not practice it. In my life only unusual new music has had a call for it. One way that I look at it is that singers don't do it. We always talk about playing like a singer would sing. If one is attracted to the pieces where one needs to do it - It is a very cool thing to be able to do. Many years ago, I studied with a somewhat famous circular breather and was told that it's the "future of the clarinet". I found that not to align with my career.

That’s an interesting idea. I have no idea about that. If you emailed Brad I am sure he would have a solid idea about that

@@clarinetninja I'm barely getting my sound back. I've got a Ridenour hard rubber clarinet so having an adjustable hard rubber barrel has appeal to me... once I'm used to the equipment I already have.

@@clarinetninja But I have an old Albert system C clarinet that belonged to my great grandfather. The barrel is tiny by comparison to a Bb.

Thanks for watching and for the kind words! I am glad that my content has been useful. My first suggestion is to try a neck strap. I don't think that moving the thumb rest is going to make the difference you are looking for. 30 years ago a teacher of mine said something that I have found to be True - tension is contagious. I would look for it starting at my shoulder and down my arm. It could be starting anywhere in there. Let me know how it goes. Unrelated - 25 or so years ago I did a tour of 30 cities in Brazil. I got to see many parts of your beautiful country that most don't get to see. I loved it
