[Dixielandjazz] Clarinet Players & Volume

[LRG4003 at aol.com]

Re-sending complete message.....
 
Agree with Mr. Barbone on this one.  Mic'ing the clarinet is helpful  in 
really bringing the lower register through on both ensemble play and  solo's.  
Depending on the venue acoustics  I will often play a  way from the Mic in a lot 
of upper register stuff, but need the Mic to be heard  well in the lowest E 
through E range.  
 
I picked up a Leblanc Big Easy which has an extremely fat bore, cut back to  
#2 - #2 1/2 reeds and starting using the 5JB and picked up considerable volume 
 overall and crispness in the top range so it all makes a difference.  Along  
with the playing level of your frontline compatriots.
