Emil Jardin clarinets are some of the better French Stencils. And being made of hard rubber makes this a whole lot better than most plastic instruments. Hard rubber is prized for its dark tone. See the Professional Hard Rubber page. Fixed October 2009, serial #1359B. Barrel: 68mm Bore: Top of LH joint: 14.8mm Bottom of LH joint: 14.8mm
This test was done pushed all the way in. I would want a shorter barrel, and a standard 66 should work well. This instrument is very appropriate for an adult coming back to playing, or intermediate players. In fact, with a good barrel, advanced players would be happy with the way this plays. |
