Yippee! My grandad has finally decided I'm musically mature enough to take up a 'real' instrument! To prove it to him I've had to pass grade 8 bass guitar, grade 2 percussion, grade 5 recorder, grade 3 mandolin, and a proficiency exam in bagpipes! But it's all been worthwhile because now I'm ready for a 'real' instrument and he's given me a clarinet! I love clarinets! biggrin.gif

Matt cool.gif

P.S. Yeah, I know this post is pretty meaningless! laugh.gif

Oh yeah I agree! All the others are definitely proper instruments! Unfortunately my grandads opinion differs... wink.gif

Hooray, another clarinettist! Which clarinet do you have?

Pop over to Viva Woodwind if you have any queries - we're a tame bunch (most of the time wink.gif).

Are all you clarinettists trying to build an army? There are so many of you! ph34r.gif

I suppose the world doesn't have too much to worry about until you join forces with the flautists and the violinists laugh.gif

Good luck with the clarinet smile.gif
bassmadmatt
Haha! Thanks everybody! biggrin.gif

Deborah~It's quite an old clarinet made by 'Regent'. I don't know exact model or anything like that.

musicbox~I'm in the what now?! 'Forums café band'...sounds good, please elaborate! smile.gif

Matt, is it a "Regent" model made by Boosey and Hawkes? They're super instruments (although I admit to being extremely biased as I learnt on one ahem years ago).

Firebird, yes! We will not rest until the entire population of the planet has learnt to play the clarinet muahahaha wink.gif
