@@webtuni have you tried it? Specs look interesting!

​@@alexeysclarinet9109 Yes, I have tried them and any of the new 3 models are very good

With ddario reserve classic 3,5 or 3,5+

I agree that there should be classes where we can learn how to make reeds. Or at bare least how to adjust them. I think it's more common in Germany to make own reeds but as far I know they often use some copying machines. Some tools and machines can be quite expensive. We can make reeds with just knife, sandpapers and files but it takes time to learn how to use them and result is less predictable. That's why I fell in love with any brand reeds after trying making my own reeds. Brand reeds more predictable and easier to adjust. And what is really important ( and as you mentioned) some brands use very good cane.

@@madraven07 partly, yes. But when I try to feel/understand what I am doing it became a very complex and overwhelming. Like bring the lower jaw inward, raise the soft palate a bit, bring back part of the tongue down a tiny bit, while keeping the middle part of the tongue high. So to me it's easier to feel air pressure and listening to the sound to control tone.

Thank you so much for your support! I am going to upload more educational videos!

Thank you, Andrey! ❤ All major stages are eagerly waiting for me! I just can't decide which ones to choose! 😂

Here is a link support.google.com/youtube/answer/12779649?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop I am not sure if I uploaded any short from my computer only from my smartphone. It was pretty straightforward. For computer ,I think it can be downloaded as a regular video but the video have to be less than 3 minutes and be square or vertical.

Hello Jimis, have u ever tried any Pyne's? Here on YT found only two videos on Belcanto. What do u think? I found them nice core sounding, similar to M30L which type of sound I like the most, I understand lately that btw.

I have one more to say, how to buy mpiece on trial? I read somewhere that you did that, if I'm not mistaken on amazon u've bought.

@@AlvinsThoughts That's correct. I can't think of any other place you can get trying and being possible for 30 days to return for refund. I have no Idea about Pyne mouthpieces, sorry. M30L I can tell It's great because I own one. I like it better than M30. Though in my opinion, Vandoren should have 3+ reed strength, I think that would be my preference for most of my mouthpieces.

@@jimis3167 3+ or 3.25 yeah it's great number, played many student years on that. Thx for info!

@@jimis3167 Btw, backun official website also has trial, but 2 weeks only

@@jimis3167 I see. The same thing constantly happened to me when I was studying. Good reed immediately became a bad reed on the stage, because I was nervous and lost the ability to handle it in the correct way.

What if you put a reed a bit higher? So the tip of the reed is 0.3-0.5 mm higher than the mouthpiece edge? Andy Miles advised this for every reed actually to get a bit more resistance and fuller sound.

​@@alexeysclarinet9109No, It doesn't work. It's about the wood the reed contains. A 3+ would contain the right amount. There really is quite a space between 3 and 3.5

@@jimis3167 oh, I am sorry I don't have any Vandoren reed :(

@alexeysclarinet9109 I think you had in the past. Did they get overplayed and you dumped them?

@jimis3167 lucky you 😊 I have found just one V12 3.5. Will make a video demo soon.

@@alexeysclarinet9109 Thank you so much!

@@alexeysclarinet9109 Which brand of reed do you use?

@@jimis3167 I don't have kitchen scale so I can't measure it right now. But it's definitely heavier than BD5 or any of my other mouthpieces. Here is a link where guy weighted it www.earspasm.com/products/vandoren-bd4-hd-bb-clarinet-mouthpiece?srsltid=AfmBOorRZL5Y_agJaFQ-NGX2mBKoQMtDV6mu60mmIy6heb5gQqoq3wHg As for BD4 I also like the sound more but I am not comfortable with this mouthpiece yet. But honestly, the difference in sound is marginal. Basically because I play and not the mouthpiece.

@alexeysclarinet9109 I really wish there would be BD2 in HD.

@jimis3167 yeah...maybe sometime they are going to make it

@@fabriziopalmero9710 that's great! Maybe I am practicing too little or don't get used to mouthpiece yet. 3.5 feels a bit heavy and less controller than softer reeds.

@@alexeysclarinet9109 That's not the case. I practice quite a bit and I find 3.5 heavy too, whatever the mouthpiece. That's why I wish there would be 3+ strength.

@@jimis3167 understood! That's why we should sometimes adjust reeds with sanding, scraping etc 😃

@@alexeysclarinet9109 Yes, though I'm not successful in this regard. Most of the reeds I try to rub become worse in the end.

@jimis3167 I see. Maybe in future I'll make a video about reeds adjustment. I have found that there are several easy techniques that work pretty well for me.

@@jimis3167 I don't know yet. Really. It was a brief test. 3.5 reed was too hard and the sound was shrill and prone to squeak. 3+ reed was too soft but the sound was more mellow and more controlled. So it seems it works better with softer reeds. Anyway I haven't played clarinet for more than 2 weeks and I am going to make a longer video comparing BD4 HD to BD5. Unfortunately I don't have a normal BD4 :(

@alexeysclarinet9109 BD4 HD is supposedly better than BD4, though not ultimately.

@@jimis3167 I think so as well!

@@jeanvernesse8873 Merry Christmas and best wishes! As for my background I was graduated from Belorussian State Academy of Music. After graduation I was working as clarinet teacher for about 10 years. Last 10 years I am working in IT. So clarinet now is my hobby.

@@jeanvernesse8873 I know how to do it but never really tried to adopt it, unfortunately

Thank you! I am going to add more tips when time allows 😊

@@emjay2045 that's Vandoren B40D :)

@ 👍🏼 But I still like your sound with the 5RV Lyre a lot. 😎

@@emjay2045 Understood, I liked it much (because of the clear resonant tone) but was not able to fully overcome altissimo. It was not easy to play altissimo. Also, I am looking for a bit more depth in sound.

@@alexeysclarinet9109 those B40D’s are like trying to drive a tank sometimes. Not very easy flexible.

@emjay2045 yeah, not very flexible, a bit stuffy, with a bit too round sound

Thank you so much!

@@magicmanam thank you sir!:)

@@emjay2045 it's M30 Vandoren

@@emjay2045 that's a great tip about upper lip. For me it means that the top lip should be active and should push down into the mouthpiece. In this case I can blow into the bottom part of the upper lip. Maybe I got it wrong but it makes sense to me. Another advice that is a bit opposite is from Ray McClellan , he advised to blow into the lower lip as if trying to inflate it with air. Also worth trying 😊

@@gsaugust I hope, it will help you!:)

@@martatessi thank you for your opinion! 😊

@@SelimcanSakar it makes a lot of sense for me. I agree, though I use a bit different words "more dense" (German) and "more broad" (French) 😊

@@michaela1541 thank you so much!

@ no worries !

Good to know this combination works! Thank you!

Thank you😊

Thank you! That's a beautiful song, enjoy your playing!

@@jvs2uber466 thank you so much!

@@jimis3167 D40D is resistant mouthpiece. I play V12 3.5 on most of my mouthpieces but I use 3 or 3+ with B40D. Also based on charts B40 Lyre has more closed and longer facing meaning for me that optimal reed strength for me will be smth between 3+ and 3.5

@@alexeysclarinet9109 So, as I understand B40D probably is more resistant than B40 Lyre?

@@jimis3167 based on spec's, yes, I do believe that B40D should be slightly more resistant. But it is always better to try and compare in reality:)

@@jimis3167 unfortunately I don't have regular B40 :( Based on what I read the B40D has a bit different design. Also, based on what I heard it feels to me that the B40 Lyre 13 Series sounds similar to the B40D. But all these are my speculations.

@@godblessthe80s thanks a lot!

@@patricksautour5963 thank you for your response. I tend to agree with you ☺️

B40D - yes, reeds are from 3 to 3+ of different brands. This particular is of "SPB Reeds" brand ( Russian)

@@alexeysclarinet9109 My preferred reeds would be V12 3+ but don't exist. This time I try again the Vandoren traditional 3 which I was playing in my early years. I try them on the Evolution marble mouthpiece. They play quite well. Since there isn't 3+, those are as close to that as I can get. V12 3+ would be better for sure, V12s are nicer quality.

@@jimis3167 if you really like V12 I would suggest taking 3.5 and sanding tiny bit of flat part of reed on sand paper

​​@@alexeysclarinet9109I have a Vandoren glass reed resurfacer, though It takes off the reed too much, even with little rubbing. Fine grit sandpaper is better I think. Do you use 600 or 1000 grit on reeds?

@@jimis3167 usually I use 600. I put a reed on a sandpaper so the reed tip is not touching sandpaper and then I do just several circular motions with almost no pressure and then test reed.

Спасибо! Нет, тут только нижнюю губу подворачиваю😊
