OK, I’m a fanatic. Joel Jaffe, who handles marketing for Backun Musical called and offered me one of the MoBa grenadilla prototypes. I’ve been playing cocobolo clarinets for two years now, but this grenadilla instrument is so superior in sound to any other grenadilla clarinet that I just had to have it. So now I have a matched set of MoBa clarinets, one in each wood. Preliminary testing seems that I will use grenadilla for orchestral work and cocobolo for chamber music. Every day in the studio, I have to choose which one to play…what a divine quandary!
