i finished testing 7 different vandoren reeds

i’ve been playing Johnny’s Michelle on the Clarinet using a plasticover 3.5 reed and it sounds perfect.

That’s the tone i’m looking for on the Alto, so now, out of all D’addario and Vandoren reeds i’ve tested, i need to pick one that gets me the closest sound i want. It could be a slightly buzzy jazz tone or a deep mellow classical tone. Obviously it won’t be identical to a clarinet sound, but it’s what i’m aiming for.

Unfortunately i can’t record and upload it, as every time i’ve done it in the past, it’s been taken down, due to copy right issues. It’s just too well known.

I don’t understand how youtube can have whole albums of artists, which you can record (pirate) and other sites get upset when you just play a familiar tune.
One way around the lunacy is to get your own website and you can place whatever you record there.
They aren’t expensive these days if you go for the minimum storage space option. You could also try the free storage in Google Mail and use a link for sharing.

Here is a test using Google’s gmail 15Gb free Drive space.

Yep it works for me, see if it works for you. This could be a quick and easy way to share your latest recordings.

i used a gmail account awhile back, and got rid of it – as i was fed up with the sheer amount of googles privacy options i had to set off and on, for an e-mail address. I thought facebook was just as bad and deleted it.

Yeah! Why would I want a facehook or to be a Twit-for? I only have one rule and that’s no financial transactions online, via smartphone or with my primary Dedit Card. If I do transfer funds it’s an ETF transfer in person at the bank. You can’t be too careful these days.

What’s ETF stand for? Couldn’t find it online.

electronic transfer of funds

[sxpoet]

EFT (electronic fund transfer) is used to move money from one account to another. The transaction is completed electronically, and the two accounts can be at the same financial institution or different financial institutions.

ETF (exchange-traded funds) are exactly as the name implies: funds that trade on exchanges, generally tracking a specific index. When you invest in an ETF, you get a bundle of assets you can buy and sell during market hours—potentially lowering your risk and exposure, while helping to diversify your portfolio.

Really good info being posted on reeds.

The following is from the 10mfan website. Many nice mouthpieces are available from 10mfan. Mark talks the importance of the reed.
