Are people aware of this wonderful site? I came across it while browsing and have only dipped into the Clarinet bit, but there is loads of information on all sorts of instruments. There are great overviews of the development of the instrument, with Philharmonia players giving tips to improve your playing.

Thanks - will definitely have a look at this.

Me too when I have a bit more time.

Have had a look round this website and it's really interesting. Didn't play any of the video clips as I'm at work but it's very comprehensive and as a beginner clarinettist it's great to find out more about what the instrument can do. Will show this to my saxophonist daughter when I get home.
