[Dixielandjazz] clarinet volume

[Jhopkins]

I play a Leblanc "Big`Easy" Pete Fountain model clarinet with a Gigliotti mouthpiece (his most open faced version) and use a 2.5 reed. I am able to be heard playing in a full dixieland band outdoors with no mike.  But I do prefer a mike for all the obvious reasons. (less work)
