What is the right clarinet for Greek music?

[tseligas]

So summing up...the original instrument that we have in our first greek recordings is by majority a C Albert clarinet.

Now! Let's keep in mind the Pitch!
Low Pitch vs High Pitch.

Low Pitch is modern tuning which would be in tune with any instrument on the market now.

High pitch is an old and abandoned tuning. However most of the old recordings are played with a HP clarinet!
Is there really a difference in your ear if you play HP or LP??? Well I think it is! Same way Itia sounds different if you play from LA or MI. But that is my personal opinion!

In conclusion I would suggest a Bb LP clarinet to start with! Then you can get a C and then you can get a A.
Other points that someone can take into account and now we will go a bit in personal preference is the weight of the clarinet.
Light C<Bb<A Heavy.. This will cause considerable fatigue on your thumb.
Also C is shorter than A... If you have short or very long fingers one may be uncomfortable.

Other kinds of clarinets are the ones with rollers or without rollers. Don't see that how it can affect the sound.

Number of rings will affect the sound! In the following ways:
Rings were introduced for more flexibility and playing dexterity and speed and also improved purity of tone and pitch.
Many people believe there is a difference in the type of sound from these extra keys... I think it is a very small detail

Keep in mind when you compare your sound to an old recording that it is exactly that !!! An antiquated method of recording and reproducing music. So it is really difficult to understand the original natural sound of that clarinet!
