[Dixielandjazz] FW: Sound Check from Hell

[Jim Kashishian]

Referring to Steve's post showing his sound check at a park concert:

Why do you have a mike at the end of your bell, Steve?  The sound of a
clarinet is where your fingers are.  If anything, you can place a mic over
the holes & one at the end, but at the end is a no-no.

When we worked with Tom Scott, he always got up real close to the mike at
the finger level, particularly for the low tones, but he always used the mic
around the fingers....and, you know that fellow had one of the best sounds
available.
