@@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😊

@@alexeysclarinet9109 а в целом практикуете дабл липс?

@@andreyogleznev8783 да, время от времени играю. Планировал полностью перейти, но для этого надо постоянно заниматься, а я занимаюсь скорее редко, чем часто :)

@@alexeysclarinet9109 ну это и слышно, вы красавчик великолепно звучит, дабл лип великая вещь. Синтетику пробовали Legere напр мер. У меня в связке с Ликостини работает безупречно, действительно отдыхаешь и наслаждаешься, советую.

@@andreyogleznev8783 спасибо! Нет, синтетику не пробовал, но уже начинаю смотреть в эту сторону:) не уверен, что уйду с камыша, но попробовать интересно.

Спасибо! Трость не знаю. Я играю на разных моделях и выбираю ту, которая лучше в конкретный день. Мундштук точно не знаю, но я на 99% уверен, что это 5RV Lyre 13 серии. Я в то время играл на этом мундштуке + судя по видео, это точно вандорен и 13 серия. И название модели на мундштуке длинное, хоть и не различимое)

@@JosephEndicott thank you! I'll try to find a playback track for that song 😊

@@cocoszeff thank you!

Please play this song in the great sound hall again with clarinet..!

@@cocoszeff unfortunately I don't have access to concert hall :(

Thank you so much!

Nope, here is track ua-cam.com/video/nY-eZX8ozUQ/v-deo.htmlsi=m5TRe1W8iC-48VwM

Hey! I downloaded it from here musescore.com/user/11678641/scores/16306099

@@jimis3167 I heard it way before as soundtrack for many Instagram videos lol Though a couple days ago I noticed the soundtrack's name and started to look for it.

@@svantepersson9735 it sticks out a bit because tenon a bit longer ( so pitch a bit lower ) , but besides this it fits and works well.

@@philpasteris8973 thank you for your input!

@@jimis3167 I think it's up to you 😊 but if you don't like it why bothering with it?

@@alexeysclarinet9109 If I get a more responsive one, It might have potential.

@@jimis3167 yeah, that's true

Yeah lol, it's selfie camera

감사합니다 ❤ (I hope this means thank you ! 😊 )

Thank you! I have bachelor's degree. Used to be a clarinet teacher but about last 10 years I am just hobbyist 😊

I saw that thread. No, I left it as is. I tend to play sharp so it's a positive thing for me that the mouthpiece tenon is longer

@@alexeysclarinet9109 Ok but how about low E and F, don't they get flat with this mouthpiece?

@@jimis3167 no more flat than when I pull out the barrel when playing other mouthpieces. Also, it seems to me that it has better throat notes than 13 series or/and when pulling out the barrel. However, they are still quite out of tune.

@@alexeysclarinet9109 Speaking of 13 series, tomorrow will arrive two M15 13 series. Will see how they play compared to non 13 series profile 88 I already have. I'm also waiting for Vandoren RT19 reed trimmer cause I need something like 3+ reed. Although It won't make number 3 like a 3+(more wood over reed's body) It'll be as close as I can get to that. With number 3 as they are I have intonation problem in middle C to F sharp notes, they become very flat because reeds are light. I hope reed trimmer makes them little stiffer and fix that while still having the flexibility and speed number 3 offers in playing.

​@@jimis3167 Based on Montanaro's interview, 13 Series is designed to have a deeper baffle and a larger bore to produce a more dark, centered, yet mellow tone. That's why I prefer 13 Series I hope you will be happy with a new m15 and new more suited reeds!

How do you like it compared to M15 ?

@@alexeysclarinet9109 I probably like the Evolution with V12 number 3 more, I get more mobility and flexibility in my playing but will see that within time. Evolution mouthpiece earned Its place among my favourites, that's for sure, along with the M13, M13 Lyre and M15. Last place get the X0 and X5, even with number 3 they're not quite controllable like the Evolution is.

@@alexeysclarinet9109 Could be wrong but Evolution's beak also feels little narrower compared to X0 and X5 and I like that better, definitely not as narrow as Vandoren's profile 88 but better than other D'addario pieces.

@@jimis3167 got it, thank you!

@@alexeysclarinet9109 I already requested D'addario to make mouthpieces in 1.02 and 1.03 openings with long facing. They said will consider that. Would be super interesting because that rubber seems better quality compared to current Vandorens. Vandoren in the 70s and 80s had excellent pieces also made from rod rubber (now made of molded hard rubber). They had crystal ones and they also had similar material to marble Evolution, just in red/black rubber.

M30 here definitely speaks the best (in terms of articulation). However, I prefer the sound of B40D (even with this reed that is hard for this mouthpiece)

@@alexeysclarinet9109 The B40D is a mouthpiece I used about 10 years ago, I even played Nielsen concerto with orchestra using it. I eventually moved on, even though I liked it, as there just isn't enough sound and it can sound slightly throttled/restricted to the audience. I ended up really liking M30lyre, great articulation but richer sound than M30.

​@@DorothyOfTheWest thank you for your input! That's an interesting experience. For me it feels that B40D is stuffy but with correct reed it should project well, it has good high partials. Never played M30 Lyre. Great that you find mouthpiece for you!

Yeah, that's possible. Though I was not happy with them 😢

@@alexeysclarinet9109 Which mouthpieces you tried them on? The known ones you play in video?

@@jimis3167 BD5, M30, M15, B40D

@@alexeysclarinet9109 I think they work with Reserve x5, M13, M13 Lyre pretty well.

@@jimis3167 that's great when you find a combination that works best for you!

It seems to me that 3 is a bit soft. Also, I don't have 3 now. Though I have 3+ Fedotov reeds that fall between Vandoren V12 3 and 3 1/2. So maybe I can give it a try with Evolution (I find it sounds not bad here at all)

@@alexeysclarinet9109 I hope you make a video playing that setup..

@@jimis3167 will do, I am interested as well how it will compare with B40D

@@alexeysclarinet9109 That's great!

@@alexeysclarinet9109 Vandoren really should have made 3+ strength in their reeds. 3.5+ V12 to me at least feel a little heavy for being mobile in playing. I think 3+ would be more useful over clarinetists and probably the sweet spot for many!

I don't remember. It's an old BG or Rovner leather ligature without any metal inserts

Thank you!

Cool! Will wait for your new video! My choice now is B40D, I am happy with this mouthpiece 😊

Among these I prefer Selmer Focus

I have a focus arriving monday to see how it plays. I am moving down from a 1.12 tip opening.

@@JoeTigheOnline Great! Hope, you will like it!

M15

I only played B45 Lyre in my early student days. As far as I remember it was very resistant, but with good reed I had good big round sound that also carried well in a big concert hall. It required very good and strong embouchure and breathing.

@@alexeysclarinet9109 ok thank you. And BD5 do you like it?

@@rubensousa3466 It's a good mouthpiece. Though I bought several new mouthpieces lately (Selmer Focus, M15 13 Series, M30, B40D) and I prefer them over BD5. My last favorite that I am not going to change at least for now is B40D. Compared to the above-mentioned mouthpieces, BD5 seems to lack some colors in tone, though it's a very secure mouthpiece that holds tone really well.

@@alexeysclarinet9109 ok thank you

Thank you so much!

Thank you! ❤

My reed here is V12 3.5 but modified a lot. It's not hard at all. The case is this piece has no pauses so my breath muscles and lips should work constantly without rest. Also, B40D a bit more open than my previous mouthpieces, so I have to use a bit more air and probably a bit more lips pressure. That's why it was tiring 😊

@@alexeysclarinet9109 It makes sense. B40 and B40D are quite open pieces and require air. It would be interesting if you also try the M30D, although If you ask me, that also requires much air. From now on, the most open I would play comfortably is 5RV Lyre.

@@jimis3167 Now I am not going to buy M30D, I am satisfied with B40D. But who knows what will happen in the future 😂

@@alexeysclarinet9109 I think I'll stick with my M15 for now. Even D'Addario seems to be made by better rubber, the M15 plays better than X0 and X5 and other Vandorens. I probably should try more D'Addario of the same model, they individually differ, just like Vandorens do.

@@jimis3167 what qualities of D'Addario hard rubber do you like more than Vandoren?

Thank you very much!

Я бы хотел кода-нибудь сделать видео сравнение всех свои мундштуков, но чтобы сделать хорошо, надо для каждого подобрать трость, а это очень долго) Надо специально выделять время.

@@alexeysclarinet9109а ликостини и ники не нравятся ?)

@@janrahaev8280 ни разу на них не играл. Те кларнетисты, которых я слушаю, на них не играют. Может когда-нибудь попробую их, но скорее нет, чем да)

​@@alexeysclarinet9109 ua-cam.com/users/live0LeyUL2uIVI?si=6ZKxwVygT1jl-m3h Alex at the end famous clarinetist speaks about how to make all reeds perfect. I found this trick yesterday, so I think it can help you with reeds

​@@alexeysclarinet9109 привет Алексей могу я узнать, каких кларнетистов ты слушаешь? И что за модель кларнета у тебя?

I think due to a tiny bit large opening and longer facing it really can give a rich and colorful sound. Great setup!

Definitely, just recently sanded my BD5 mouthpiece, made smaller tip and substantially larger face, also I sanded let's call this side ramps in chamber, also I made rails thicker. And it played rather better! Long facing gives to airstream more blowing bigger forte dynamic range and small tip gives focus to the sound.

Hey, it's Weber Concertino, op 26

Thank you so much!

Super! Can't wait for your new video! Maybe I'll create another video comparing M15, M30 and ... surprise...B40D (still waiting it to be delivered)

I think so, yeah. I played it a bit mechanical, a bit too energetic sometimes. Not jazzy at all.
