Welcome Page

This site features:

Clarinet model reviews in the left column are organized by the material they are made of: WOOD, COMPOSITE, and METAL. ‘Vintage’ and ‘Older’ categories refer to clarinets manufactured before 1980. You'll need to use the site menu to see the sub-pages.
The menus are LONG, so you might find what you're looking for quicker by using the Search button in the upper right.

Parents be sure to check out Clarinet Shopping Advice and How to buy a great clarinet for $200.

See the INFO section for recommendations about clarinet STUFF (including mouthpieces, reeds, ligatures, barrels, oiling keys/wood,) and many other topics.

This site includes a lot of my opinions. Not all teachers will agree with me! I am trying to give good, safe advice. If you want to set me straight on something, please JOIN the ClarinetPages.info forum.

Phil invites you to dailybiblereading.info.

Read through and listen to the whole Bible in one year! Every day I broadcast a simple, no-frills, easy-to-understand, 20-minute recording of me (Phil) reading two Old Testament passages and one New Testament passage. I give brief introductions connecting each reading to what has been heard before, but I do not preach. You can read along while you listen by using the Digging Deeper Daily plan within the Youversion/Bible.com.

The Sun Street Stompers are pictured above in front of the pub where they play on Sundays. Barrie is holding his Selmer clarinet.

Footnote: This info from Bob Sparkman about one of the pictures in the slideshow above:

Just wanted to comment on the Woody Allen photo: That's John Bucher on trumpet, Barbara Driewitz on tuba, and Carmen Mastren on banjo! I used to sub for Woody when he was out of town. Must be Michael's Pub. Just discovered your great web site. Thanks very much and best regards.

Barrie Marshall whose picture is in the slideshow sent me this link of his band playing. Barrie and his groups are located in Lancaster, in the county of Lancashire, North West England
