Carmine Campione: Noted teacher, professor of clarinet at the Cincinnati Conservatory, author and clarinet soloist. Past principal clarinetist (37 years) Cincinnati Symphony. "[Forte'] is a serious contender, especially for the beginner. Your clarinet will eliminate so many of the early bug-a-boos that discourage youngsters and make them give up the clarinet. Things such as metal that doesn't easily bend, the bridge design off-setting potential problems, a good mouthpiece and ligature, the importance of the barrel, all things not found in most beginning clarinets." Said the best aspects of Forte' are: Intonation - quite good Quality of metal Keys, Key Work and Mechanisms - excellent Bridge Key (SOFAS) - Excellent ! Great idea and success. Larger Register Key - good Over-sized A Key - good concept Quality Mouthpiece & Ligature - Finally! Thank You!! Will help students develop embouchure. Adjustable Thumb Rest - Excellent. Case - holds well, compact, and easy to transport. Overall concept and Effort - Most noteworthy!
