I tend to be lower in the throat tones when playing a Valentino reed. The slightly flat E and F throat tones may a concern,īut are OK if not played as stupidly loud as I play when testing. The upper register is not so sharp, and that register can be lipped Instruments have better intonation than Selmer Signets, in my opinion. I recommend getting either 64mm or 65mm with a Normandy. If you have a Normandy with plasticīarrel, an easy and inexpensive way to improve the instrument is to buyĪn Ivorolon barrel from Tom Ridenour for around $75 plus shipping. I have seen Normandy (not a SpecialĪnd not given a model number) with both a plastic barrel and bell. The Normandy 4 has a wooden bell,Īnd the Special has a plastic bell. As that is the part that cracks easiest if made of wood.
