 sounding in C, transposing in G
3 brass keys,
Design: Gerd Figge and Hanns-Peter Wagner

For a long time woodwind and brass players have been looking for a suitable beginner's instrument - besides the recorder - for children from the age of 6. We now present our idea of a clarinet for beginners which may perhaps remind some people of the chalumeau, the historical predecessor of the clarinet. The embouchure is more suitable for children than the normal clarinet, whereby we use rubber for the mouthpiece.

Determined by childrens' lip muscles and taking into account the change to second teeth, the pressure from the mouth had to be calculated in such a way that good intonation could be maintained. This was achieved by modifying the chamber, the table and the thickness of the reed as well as lengthening the mouthpiece so that normal Bb clarinet reeds with 1.5 and 2 thicknesses could be used. The ligature bracket consists of a milled screw and a pressure plate of rubber and brass. By this means the reed is pressed onto the mouthpiece table with a constant pressure. Changing reeds is very simple.

The wood chosen for this instrument is either the relatively hard plumwood or ebony. The closely-placed finger holes are a concession to childrens' hands playing on the soprano clarinet. It is no larger than a soprano recorder and is lightweight to hold. As a transposing instrument it prepares the way very simply for the larger Bb clarinet. As an instrument sounding in C one uses the fingering in the lower octave as on the recorder. One can use our soprano clarinet in place of a baroque chalumeau (which originally has a range of only an eleventh and does not overblow) and with original literature for that instrument. One can also use it in ensemble with other instruments, particularly with recorders and especially for classical, pop and jazz music.

Email, call or write me to order or discuss your needs.  You can't order from my web site--I like to discuss your order with you first.

Many people have told me how much they enjoy my bringing my ‘store’ of instruments to workshops so that they can try many different ones over the course of a few days.  This makes their decision-making process much easier. 

Obviously, when ordering by mail, I can’t send you my whole ‘store’ of instruments to try, but I do try to come as close as is reasonably possible.  All instruments can be ordered on approval.  I am happy to send out two or more instruments for you to compare.  For instance, I could send out two or three rosewood altos, or rosewood, pearwood, grenadilla and  boxwood altos for you to sample.  Then you can play them (please, no more than 15 minutes per day, just as if you were starting the breaking-in process), let your friends try or listen to them, and let a teacher try them.  This gives you some feedback on your choice, and gives you more confidence in your decision. 

I want you to be satisfied with your instrument, and feel under no obligation to buy it if you don’t like it.  A normal time for deciding is approximately one week.  I, of course, expect any returned instruments to be in like-new condition (see below).  Whether you decide to buy an instrument or not, all I ask is that you pay for shipping costs both ways.

Once you have decided on a purchase, I will bill you. 

Email, call or write me to order or discuss your needs.  You can't order from my web site--I like to discuss your order with you first.

 

I had an instrument returned that smelled of cigarette smoke.  The customer did not smoke, but a visitor did.  I haven't yet succeeded in removing the smell.  I can't sell a smoky instrument, so I do not want to send instruments on approval to households where people are allowed to smoke.  If a smoky-smelling (or mildew-smelling) instrument is returned to me, I will not accept it, and you will have bought it, since it is no longer in like-new condition.  In my experience, hardly any recorder players smoke, so this should be a rare occurrence.  So please, no smoke, mildew or lipstick, and brush your teeth before playing--all things you should do if the instrument were yours.  I hope you understand this policy.

 

I don't give out customer contact information to other companies.

 

I accept personal checks, money orders or cashiers checks.
