Thanks,

Don't get enamoured of, or with, odd and weirdo accoutrements.
Get a mouthpiece to suit your instrument's dimensions,from a well-known
'name' manufacturer. (some instruments, like my Bb B'H 1010 'Symphony'
have a slightly wider bore).
Put the mouthpiece on, fiddle about with reeds, for a year or three until
you settle down, and you may start to get the tone you want. You certainly
are not going to suddenly get a magic mouthpiece and bingo!, you are
playing like (Speak with awe!), - Ms Emma Johnson!.
Trick is, - you have to know tone what you want. most people go for a
favourite performer's tone they admire but it must be remembered that the
sound you hear on your disc is not the same sound coming out of the
instrument when it is originally recorded. The Engineers have recorded it
with all sorts of enhancements to the harmonics and added echo as well.
At the beginning of every practise period, stand in a corner of your bedroom
with your head down and,- listening,- blow long notes fairly quietly. The
sound should pour out without too much effort providing your embouchure is
moderately developed, - (by blowing long notes in the corner!) - and the
reed and instrument is set up properly and you have learned how to sit up
properly, (or stand), hold the instrument correctly, produce the note, and
tongue it properly.
Knowing what sound pleases you is paramount, so you just keep going through
the years until you come fairly close to it and your enjoyment will increase
in direct proportion to the enhancement of the tone you produce.
Above all. - like all other good things in life, - keep cheerful, and never
despair!.
Altagether nah!,............
"There's, a , Place for you! - summawhere, - a Place for you!!.
Anyone know where I can get a C3 white Brilhart mouthpiece with a round
black insert on the top slope, - for my Mk6 alto sax?.
We all dream,........ don't we!.

Thanks for the response but I'm not an amature clarinetist. I don't
want to sound pomp but, I have won a number of competitions and will be
attending a prominent grad school next year on scholarship.
I was sincerely looking for advice on where to find a Kanter
mouthpiece, not on how to play the clarinet. I'm not looking for a
'magic cure'. I have actually played on a Kanter before and it had the
feel and sound that I'm looking for.
So if anyone out there has any advice for me I would appreciate it!
Thanks!

Please, I'm not an amateur. I've been playing clarinet for 14 years.
Do you even know who Jim Kanter is? I don't understand how you can
judge me based on my query for where to find a Kanter.

Again, I wasn't asking for advice on how to play the clarinet thank
you, I just want to know if anyone has any advice for me on where I can
find a Kanter. I don't want to sound pomp but I've studied with a
handful of world class players and I'm going to be attending a
prominent gradschool next year on scholarship.
You obviously don't know what you are talking about and in the future
please do not respond to threads that you don't know the answers to.
If anyone has some useful advice I would sincerely appreciate it.

Oooh!, temper!,- - temper!.
My dear Hosay, - I apologise! .
You see, - I consider myself to be a rank learner and inexperienced
and try hard to never get any pompous ideas about myself and try at all
times to reply in a discussion in a friendly and perhaps helpful manner.
That is the purpose of a chat group.
As a wee lad I bought my first horn in 1935. In '39 I joined H.M's Royal
Air Force. and played in their bands all over the world for six years.
From '39 to '60 I worked all the Palais de Dance Halls coal faces, 8p.m.
till 2 a.m..
on all reeds, guitar, bass guitar, string bass interspersed with Symph work
with the West Lakeland Symph orchestra..
In 1957 playing first alto/clart in my "Music Masters" 17 piece swing band
we won the North Western Melody Makers Regional Championship Contest. Later
we won the All Britain Championship.
I have regularly played all the region's Concert shows and am now nicely
settled playing reeds in a very good Brass Band.
I have taught reeds and string contra bass most of my life but though I have
in this instance collated my experience as above I would never dream of
getting a big head.
It is not in my nature, it merely demeans a person.
I commend that attitude to you.
In other words, keep your shirt on, sonny boy!.
Doug.
