3D Printed Clarinet Stand

Posted on December 8, 2023 By ericdano No Comments on 3D Printed Clarinet Stand

So, I got a 3D printer recently. Correction, I got a functional 3D printer recently. I’ve HAD a 3D printer, and Ender 3, for a few years, and it has been…..interesting. It works. And then it doesn’t. Usually doesn’t. It is hard to get it to print consistently. You end up making or buying extra parts for it. Anyhow…..the NEW printer is a Bambu Labs P1P. It just prints. Fast. Consistently. Just a real work horse for me right now.

So, what sort of music things can one make? How about this…..a 3D printed Clarinet Stand. On Cults3D, a site where people can put their 3D designs up and charge for them, a user called ERWAN62 made this clarinet stand. Looks good. Price? $3.77. Sold.

And Printed. It really looks great and…..more importantly…….WORKS GREAT!

I’ve made two so far. Going to make a few more. Perfect stocking stuffer for students.

Doctor’s Products

Posted on October 25, 2007October 25, 2007 By ericdano 1 Comment on Doctor’s Products

The Doctor’s Products website is a great place to get clarinet stuff. Bore oil, etc, etc. The Klarinet list had a lengthy post from someone praising the Doctor’s new oil. Grenad-Oil®, from the product page, is

Use ‘Nature’s Way’ to oil your intrument with genuine Grenadilla Oil. Grenad-Oil® is absorbed quickly and completely into fine wood instruments and is the choice for the discerning musician that wants to add back exactly the same oil lost over time to their instruments.

Over the summer I bought a bunch of stuff from the good doctor, including his other bore oil, wood cleaner, and some other things. Oiling the bore of my clarinet was rather painless, but using the wood cleaner really scared me. It basically turned my clarinet a different color, light brownish I believe it was. In a panic, I put some of the bore oil on a rag and proceeded to oil the outside to get the clarinet back to a more “clarinet” color. Whew.

Anyhow, The Doctor’s stuff is worth checking out. So check it out!

Jazz Conception by Jim Snidero

Posted on April 15, 2001September 30, 2007 By ericdano 2 Comments on Jazz Conception by Jim Snidero

I have to rave about Jim Snidero‘s great series of books, Jazz Conception. He has them out for Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Flute, Clarinet, Guitar, Trumpet and probably more. The book comes with a CD of the music being performed by a great artist on whatever instrument. On the Alto version it’s Jim Snidero himself (and he sounds GREAT), on the Tenor CD it’s Walt Weiskopf, on the Flute CD it’s Frank Weis, on the Clarinet CD it’s Ken Peplowski.

The books feature the same 21 etudes. They’ve been transposed for instruments other than Alto Saxophone. The Etudes are based on well known chord changes, like #12 IND Line is based on A-Train changes, and #13 Father Song is based on the changes to Song for my Father. The etudes introduce all the standard articulations and stylistic things one would need to know to play jazz. The first etude, Groove Blues, has scoopes and falls. The next etude introduces ghosting of notes.

My only gripe, and it’s a small one, is that there is not a separate CD for backgrounds. True, you can turn the pan over to right and you’d get just the rhythm section, by why not just include a separate CD with the backgrounds by themselves? Since I insist on students interested in jazz to get this book, I made a separate CD that has just the backgrounds so the kids can play without the soloist. You’d be surprised how many boomboxes have no left/right panning.

In all, Jim Snidero’s Jazz Conception series is great. I have 4th and 5th graders able to play Groove Blues, and A-Doll. Some can play some of the others as well. I hope Jim Snidero will add to this series of books.
