Oh well, when I get older I will get an Albert system. So guys as I'm only a beginner, any advice that I would need to know would be much appreciated. I'm going to learn through online - with you guys!

Well Congratulations! on your new clarinet! It does look very nice.!! And it's a Buffet so it should be very well in tune etc..!
Check out the Beginner course and questions as well as the fingering charts to get you started. If a course that you are interested in is in Greek post a request and I will do it in English!

Do you know how to read music? ( not necessary but it may help with exercises!)

Also Elen has a Boehm so you guys can compare notes!

Thank you, tseligas. I've looked at the Beginner course. I don't know how to read music lol. I looked at the fingering charts but it isn't clear enough for me to understand. I've tried practicing to get the right sound but it's not the best lol. I've tried to do the sound when you have all the keys on your right hand covered and with your left hand the highest key covered and the rest hovering. I do need help trying to perfect the sound, how to read muisc and above all practice exercises.

Okay I will check out youtube. I've seen a few videos for beginners, however they don't really help that much. Yeah I remember Kimon saying that when I posted Albanian clarinet players.

I tried again to get the right sound. I'm getting there.

When I zoom the fingering charts, I cannot see them as they aren't clear.
