Have you ever wondered how much clarinet mouthpiece you should use with your embouchure? Watch this short video to see Dr. Waldecker’s recommendation!
Jonathan had the pleasure of overhauling a Selmer Paris Alto Clarinet recently. The alto is very old and has had average repair/maintenance for many years. This was one of those cases where nothing that we could do would make it better without a full mechanical overhaul. This alto also had an extremely wobbly center tenon due to rounded off tenon rails which is from years of assembling and disassembling. To correct the wobbly center tenon, Jonathan installed a center tenon sleeve. Jonathan did an outstanding job bringing this alto back to life! This could possibly be the only alto in the world that actually plays:) It actually sounded great too:) I know, I know; it’s really hard to believe but it’s true! OK, enough alto joking around. Check out these pics of before and after.
