Ha ha your all so funny in a good way!
If I take up the claranet then I would want to get to a level good enough to
play in the worship team or church groups - rather than just squeak and squawk along
for the fun of it.
I played flute for several years but always wanted to try the sax, so ended up teaching myself
that. It was harder than the flute and took much longer to get to a performance based level.
But lots of fun, I've played it for nearly 20 years now.
Some say the claranet it easier than the sax, some the other way around. But the claranet has
certain advantages it has a greater range and is lighter and easier to carry around also cheaper.
Ive heard it can be harder to adjust to though due to the lay out of the keys and no finger
pads. But on the other hand some on interweb say it's easier to keep in tune so needs less
work in that sense. But you need a bigger mouth (no comment).
Ps I like the cello too! But it's basically just a massive guitar!
In fact the saxophone
family and string family go very well together they have a similar woody tone.
Have played duet with a cello while I played the alto sax.
I did play guitar ages ago, along with keyboard and piano accordion.
Also tried the oboe. Oh my goodness has anyone ever tried the oboe, that is just an
instrument of torture! Ever wonder why there are few oboe players? It's because they
all bust a gut and their eyeballs pop out!
I really would like to try something else and am hankering after a claranet, was wondering
if others had tried it. - ugly do you still play?
I suppose I could upset the neighbours and get a drum kit, I've tried the drums at church!
