I play alto sax and clarinet and wondered what a good setup for clarinet is
for jazz playing. What mouthiece etc. I have been listening to Eddie Daniels
alot lately.

Thanks
Johnny

I would recommend a Vandoran JB3 mouthpiece, medium LaVoz reeds and a Harrison
inverted gold lig. Of course, try as many combinations as you can. I find
this combination more "open"-and, since sax is my primary instrument-less
resistance appeals to me when I'm doubling on clarinet. Good luck!

BTW, Merry Christmas to everyone in this wonderful newsgroup!

That is the Vandoren 5JB I believe u mean. I use that mouthpiece with
Plasticover #3 reeds and an old Buffet Crampon Pro Ligature.

Thanks for the correction. My mouthpiece is so old the model number has worn
off :).

Last time I looked into it, Eddie was playing Buffet R13 Prestige clarinet, a
mouthpiece he designed with Vandoren (with his name on it), and Vandoren reeds.

And of course his Rovner Ligature (Eddie Daniels model).
Wait, WOAH, what about the mass marketing with Leblanc???? He doesn't play
Buffet, at least he didn't this past summer when I saw him at ClarFest
Belgium. I took his photo with Jon Mannese - standing in front of a Leblanc
Poster (Eddie wanted it that way). He played Leblanc.
