I'm a university student, third year now. Started playing clarinet at 7 years old. My first clarinet was a Vito Eb since the Bb was too heavy and big. Still have that horrible Vito today.
Besides clarinet, I play a lot of chess and hope to break the 2000 rating some day. Unlike Alex, I slept through all 3 Lord Of The Rings (boring kich comes to mind) and proud of that.
I've played classical music for about 8 years, then started to play in my school's (pretty bad) jazz band. Now I try to play as little classical and bebop (or every 'regular' music) as possible. I prefer playing new compositions, free jazz/avantguard, or dixieland can be cool. If it's just for fun playing with friends I'd play a standard or blues. I think in music you need to try to make something that is new and different, and that is what I try to do.
I think EVERY clarinet player must know the CD Double Trio - Green Dolphy Suite. It's one of my favorite CDs (including all genres of music,
I don't seperate by genre).
Right now I only play in the dixieland group in my university, and in another group not school related, we play only original compositions.
About my clarinets.
Bb Eaton International, with Eaton mouthpiece. 2.5-3 Vandoren, Grand Concert, or Gonzalez reeds.
Backup Bb Buffet prestige R13. Same mouthpiece and reeds.
Backup to the backup Bb Buffet R13 (going to sell this one soon, in my country so don't make any suggestions, I won't sell it here).
Buffet low C bass clarinet. Fobes mouthpiece (since yesterday), before that Pomarico mouthpiece. 2.5-3 reeds.
Vito Eb clarinet. Someone broke my mouthpiece, waiting for a new one (there are no Eb mouthpieces in my country).
