Fuyu no Hanashi – Given (Clarinet Cover)

thanks for listening to my clarinet cover of Fuyu no Hanashi from Given. Have you watched Given? it is one of my most favourite animes of all time! Clarinet Stuff that I use/ have used + strongly recommend: Must Have: 1. Clarinet Reeds You should choose a reed strength that best suits your needs. Typically, beginner clarinetists start off with reeds of the lowest strength (i.e. strength 2), because it is the easiest to season and does not require as much effort to produce a sound. As you get more skilled in your clarinet playing, you will use reeds of greater strength (i.e. strength 3 and 3.5). Generally, clarinet reeds of higher strength tend to produce a more rounded and fuller sound. • Vandoren CR1935+ Bb Clarinet V.12 Reeds Strength 3.5+; Box of 10: https://amzn.to/2R9TivX • Vandoren CR1035 Bb Clarinet Traditional Reeds Strength 3.5; Box of 10: https://amzn.to/2TynvFW • Vandoren CR103 Bb Clarinet Traditional Reeds Strength 3; Box of 10: https://amzn.to/3iknKin • Vandoren CR103 Bb Clarinet Traditional Reeds Strength 2; Box of 10: https://amzn.to/3wRsRdP Higher Quality Reeds: • Bb Clarinet V.12 Reeds Strength 3.5; Box of 10: https://amzn.to/3fXDt43 • Bb Clarinet V.12 Reeds Strength 3; Box of 10: https://amzn.to/2Tstfkp • Vandoren CR1925 Bb Clarinet V.12 Reeds Strength 2.5; Box of 10: https://amzn.to/34NKr6B 2.
