After so many years, I finialy got myself a personal Bass Clarinet Mouthpiece and Ligature. But sadly, the price jerk up. The price now for both the mouthpiece and ligature is about twice compared to that of say 6 years ago.
But nevertheless, I still got it. I got the mouthpiece and the ligature at the price of S$265.00.
I also got myself a tuner-metronome, which I each musician should have with them, and I seriously think that each musician should invest into a tuner-metronome once they are playing in band. A cheap and good tuner-metronome can be purchase at Swee Lee or Christophori at around S$40 onwards. I believe in having a good tune and each musician should have tune themselves properly before main practice or rehearsal so that everyone will be playing the somes hearing good music and not music that are out of tune.
Anyway, I got myself a tuner-metronome (thanks to Weixiang for the help in buying it from Vista Point's Christophri). I saw this great promotion for one of the prmotion booklet that was dropped into our letter box in Woodlands area, showing promotional price for the tuner-metronome selling at S$ 35.00, usual price S$ 45.00. Thinking it's a good deal, I draw out S$4o and pass to Weixiang on Wednesday and ask him to help me buy.
So now I am a contented bass clarinetist with my personal mouthpiece and ligature (no longer fearing there is not mouthpiece to use in any other band) and also my person tuner (no longer having the fear of people saying I'm out of tune as I can tune myself before practice).
Sadly, bass clarinet is too expensive to invest in, if not I'll also buy myself a bass clarinet and I can be a real bass clarinetist with everything. Haha.
Well, think I better stop dreaming and be realistic.
