366 MEME - Day 337 - Being A Good Girl!

[debris4spike]

It was raining this morning - so I was ... shock, horror ...  a good girl!!

Not only did I practice my clarinet, I also cleaned it, greased the corks and sorted out dead reeds!

You made me miss my clarinet!


What make is yours?

[debris4spike]

My Bb is a real cheapy make ... I had it when I was 11 ... yet it still sounds good (well if someone else plays it!!) Had to have some work done on it recently and the repairer (who is a musical snob) moaned about it!

My A is a Hawke & Son ... from the 20s ... and still a lovely instrument.

I just need to get into a regular practice habit - get my fingers round the notes for the concert, as well as get my mouth and hands toned up for the performance.

I had a Boozey and Hawkes, then had to sell that and got a cheapie, I think it was a Clarissa


But it's years since I had a clarinet

I wish I was ore dedicated - it is such a versatile instrument.

Did you ever learn anything else?

Cello for a couple of years but now all I play is guitar... badly!

I would love to be able to play piano ... but can't seem to read more than one note at a time!!

Oh how cool of you. So when do we get to hear you play? :)

Only when you have placed cotton wool firmly in the ears!!!!
