Really impressive work, the arrangment, the clarinet work, and then a fantastic voice too. You see a lot of these things lately, but few if any are on this level of individual achievement. Is any record company listening?
Fantastic virtual arrangement and performance!!
Thank you Jake. What make is the c-bass clarinet – it must be wonderful to play. LeBlanc low C bass is as far down as I go.
Hi Paul, I’m glad you asked! Below is a list of the Clarinets I’m playing in this video:
Eb Piccolo Clarinet – Boosey and Hawkes Imperial
Bb Clarinet – 1960’s full Boehm Buffet (custom ordered and part of a pair, I also have the matching A) – one of a kind pair
Eb Alto Clarinet – Noblet (formerly owned by Paul Harvey)
Bb Bass Clarinet – 1930’s Buffet (extended to low C sometime in the 1960s) – formerly played in the CBSO for many many years (I don’t know who by)
BBb Contrabass – Leblanc straight (collapsible) contra to low Eb (this was an ebay bargain that came to me from Oklahoma)
Look at all the fancy clarinets!
I’m a clarinetist and I approve. 🙂
