The newest Pete Fountain model is the embodiment of the rich musical landscape of the city for which it was named. Pete collaborated with Leblanc to produce numerous design enhancements that give the Big Easy even greater flexibility, more accurate intonation and better note-bending ability than its acclaimed predecessors. Players will find that this model sounds as good on the symphony stage as it does on Bourbon Street?its unique distribution of overtones allows effortless blending in ensemble playing while also providing a vividly expressive solo voice. Most important, this new Fountain model gives Pete plenty of the famous ?fat? tone that has become his trademark. Says Pete, ?True to its name, I find this horn easy to play, and it has a fantastic scale line from bottom to top. I don?t even to have think about it?this clarinet just sings.? |
