Everywhere I go, I am surrounded by clarinetists. So much so that people think I am one. I’ve spent so much time around them that I can actually participate in the shop talk – like if I’m happy with my set-up, playing on V12s and my M16 (and I know what those letters stand for), although I’m still waiting to reach Buffet artist status and receive my complimentary leather jacket. I do get invited to all the clarinet events and parties, and even served as a guest judge for a studio competition of sorts, which admittedly are quite fun, and the CSO section has wiggled its way into my heart so that I’ll do pretty much anything for them, including slightly illegal photocopying. Sadly tonight I had to miss reed class, hosted by JGunn, because I had my own rehearsal, but I was seriously thinking about going late – and then I realized I don’t play clarinet at all.

Hello, My name is Emily and I am a clarinetist at a college in Texas. I really love this picture of the clarinet and I would like to use it for my senior recital announcements. Is there any way you would allow me to do that?

Sure, thanks for asking. I think you can just drag and drop it. Good luck on your recital! -Ixi

Hi. You requested that we contact you to use images off of your website. We (a group of four) are working on a PowerPoint presentation for an online poster session. The class is “The Exceptional Child” and the project is “Teaching a Profoundly Deaf Child About Music”. We have found that the best instruments to teach the deaf include any reed instrument because they can FEEL the vibrations throughout their body. We would like to include the image on the slide that we introduce that concept.

I wanted to ask permission to use your beautiful picture of the clarinet. My friend from high school and I are going to participate in a race. We are a 2 person team and we both played clarinet in high school band. We have found each other after 20 years and are reuniting in a 5K event. We want to put your picture on our t-shirts with the team name Second Winds.

I wanted to ask permission to use your clarinet image on t-shirts for my 2 person race team. We played clarinet together in middle school and high school, then were out of touch or almost 20 years. We are running a 5k race as the team “Second Winds” and would love to have a clarinet image on our shirts. Thank you for your consideration.
