Does anyone have any tips for preparing as best as possible for a diploma? I'm 28, working in medicine so quite busy but I'm lab based so 9-5 only thankfully. I've been preparing for the LTCL exam, as a long term goal of mine (did ABRSM 8 in 2016).

I've been using vandoren 3-3.5 for a bit, but I find that some of the the 3's are too soft and some of the 3.5's are too hard. Moreover, I'm not sure what the difference between the v21 or v12 or v16 are, since they're really inconsistent.

The vandoren reeds are pretty inconsistent so sometimes they will feel like a completely different strength, so I'm not really sure where I stand.

I came across the Uebel ETUDE while searching for synthetic clarinet options available in my area. It seems pretty unheard of and I couldn't find much info about it online, but I have 3 other models to consider nonetheless. Buffet Prodige Yamaha YCL-255 Howarth Academy Could anyone share their experiences or thoughts on the Uebel ETUDE? I haven't got the chance to test it as it's currently out of stock. Also, would appreciate it if anyone could share their opinions on the other models especially the Prodige and Howarth Academy. Thanks submitted by /u/sttreety [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I've recently started back up on the Bb Clarinet after many decades and would consider myself at the Intermediate Level- playing mostly scores from transcribed Bach Flute pieces. Where can I find similar scores at that level for practice? Open to any any musical genres actually. Thanks. submitted by /u/NavyCaptainMD [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
