What brand of the clarinet is the best for marching band?

Just something that is durable but still sounds okay. I'm not saying to get a cheap, bad sounding clarinet, but you certainly don't want to use something expensive. It WILL get scratched up, and possibly dropped and so it will be more prone to damage. Plastic is probably a better choice. I used a plastic Yamaha clarinet for years and it was good through all the rain and damage.

Where is your middle c on clarinet?

C is just the top three fingers of your left hand down with your thumb on the back.

Why can't fat people get slim very soon?

Usually they didn't get fat in a day, either. If a fat person cuts out sugar, high fructose corn syrup, enriched white flour, saturated and trans fats and drinks more water (not any soda) AND exercises 30 minutes or more each day, they will begin to lose weight at the rate of 1 to 2 lbs a week.

In a game of draughts can a single cap jump a double?

Yes, a single can jump a double in a game of draughts. As long as the jump would be allowed with another single piece, it is also allowed with a double.

Is a Jupiter clarinet a good one?

In my opinion, no. . Though the brand has improved over the years, they are still below par. A good clarinet is a wooden one made by Buffet, Yamaha or Selmer. These three makers have student instruments and professional instruments. As a clarinet player with a degree in music, I would not purchase a Jupiter clarinet for any reason.

How do you play a F note on clarinet?

To play the lowest "f": With the left hand, press the thumb key, first, middle, and ring fingers down in their corresponding holes, and with the right hand, press down with your first, middle, ring, and pinky ( on the bottom left paddle) ( looking at it in your hands)

To play a normal "f": Use your left thumb and cover the hole.

To play a High "f" ( top of the bar line ):pretend you are playing a Bb, and add the register key.

This is how to play 3 different octaves of "F".

Where can you get mission impossible for the b flat clarinet?

For some strange reason music for the clarinet is hard to find for most jazz and rock pieces. I would suggest getting a like-instrument part and transposing it. I would find a tenor sax part and just play that.

What fingers do use to play the clarinet?

Your right hand goes on the bottom half of the clarinet. The side of your thumb goes underneath the holding piece of the back of your clarinet. The other fingers wrap around to cover the holes. your left hand wraps around so that your ring finger covers the last hole on the top half of the clarinet, your middle finger covers the middle hole, and the pointer covers the top hole. The left thumb covers the hole in the back of the top half of the clarinet.

Can you do vabrato on the clarinet?

If you refer to the word "vibrato" yes you can, but a little bit.

Long time ago, specially in the world of jazz it was customary to use a lot of vibrato with the clarinet, but nowadays more modern players use little or no vibrato at all.

There are different tastes out there, some people like it some people don't. The main purpose for making music is to create something beautiful, and if you can do that with or without vibrato it really doesn't matter.

How much would a clarinet mouthpiece cost?

Your 2002 Nissan altima 6 CD changer is displaying err3 and won't play or eject how do you fix this error?

I Have the same unit in my 2001 Frontier, When that err3 showed i decided to open the unit myself and try to fix it. When i got it open the first thing i did is to give it a good looking over to see if there were any loose parts or disconnections. I found a small white plastic gear loose inside the unit. it took me several minutes to locate where the gear went, but i was able to put back where it belonged(the gear was for the roller that feeds the disc in and out of the unit) at the top right front corner of the unit. If you decide to try it, becareful with all the sensitive parts.

Unfortunately, after I put the gear back and got everything reinstalled, I heard the grinding noise again and received the err3 again. I removed and opened the unit again to see if the gear came off again. The answer is NO, it was right where it supposed to be. So This tells me that there is a mechanical problem. Which unfortunatley out of frustration i decided not try and figure out.

I was able to eject all 6 of my disc, this took some time, alot of time. All I did Was remove the unit and on the back bottom left corner you can see a white gear about a 1/2" wide. You can remove most of the exterior plates for easy access, but i just used a small flat head screw driver and carefully turned the gear clockwise. Like i said this will take some time.

Apparantly this is a major problem with these 6 disc in dash players.

Alpine and has a unit that will work with these systems, even with the steering wheel controls. This is the route i decided to take. i may not be able to get another 6 disk changer, but with the new alpine unit i will be able to hook up an iPod(Much more convienent. I will let ya'll know how it turns out.

Are clarinets and oboes the same shape?

They are very similar. The oboe has a more round bell hen the clarinet does. The oboe also has a double reed so the "mouthpiece" is different.

X is a double sharp, X G (G double sharp) for example would be the enharmonic equivalent of A.

If the "ball" of the note on the music is replaced by an x, then that would mean to "ghost the note."
