Greek Sound
#4
Well you seem that you are a pro in your field. It would be interesting to see some video of you playing Greek songs. See how well you will adapt.

You will probably introduce something different to the sound! ...mmm nice idea!

Regarding mouthpiece,... Greeks play with #1 or #1.5 and an open mouthpiece. Reason is, it is less demanding if you play long hours and you can bend notes easier.
HOWEVER!!! It will make the clarinet probably flatter. Then you would need to shorten the barrel.

Mysteriously enough, my clarinet is becoming sharper (#1.5, Vandoren B45) so I just raise the barrel a bit and I am all set.

Electronic aids like Echo help you again when you play for 6 hours straight because....you don't have to blow too much! And I totally agree with you.

Keep it simple and pure!

I will be writing more articles from my experience! Good Q's you got there!
