Edgar Huckert as a Musician

My musical background

I am both an amateur Jazz musician and an amateur classical musician. Normally I play Jazz with my saxophones and classical music with my clarinet or with my double bass. I also have a (rather limited) education on oboe, piano and on guitar.

For a German citizen rather unusual: in the age of 24 I switched over on clarinet from the German (Oehler) system to the French Boehm system and I never regretted that decision. With one exception (my C clarinet) all my clarinets are French Boehm clarinets.

The MIDI files that you find on my clarinet and double bass pages have been prepared by me for training purposes - they are not meant to be artistic models!

My instruments

Bb soprano Clarinet: a very rare Selmer (Paris) Marchi system (an enhanced Boehm system which is no longer continued by Selmer), based on Selmer model 10S (photos on my clarinet page)
Bb soprano Clarinet: enhanced Boehm system (includ. "articulated G sharp") made by A.Robert (Paris)
Bb soprano clarinet Malerne Paris
Bb soprano Clarinet (Boehm system) by A.Robert (Paris)
A soprano Clarinet (Boehm system) by A.Robert (Paris)
another A soprano Clarinet (Boehm system) by A.Robert (Paris)
C soprano clarinet (German system) by A.E.Fischer (Bremen)
Bass Clarinet: Selmer Paris Boehm system (photos on my clarinet page)
Sax. Tenor: Selmer Super Action Series III
Sax. Alto: Dolnet (sold in 2008)
Sax. Soprano: Yamaha YTS 823
Sax. Baritone: Selmer Mark IV(photos on my clarinet page, sold in 2008)
Oboe Malerne Paris
Double bass: the inscription says: an italian model (Torino) built in 1881. It is probably rather a Bohemian model from the end of the 19th century. This bass has a flat back.

The MIDI files were prepared with the German notation software Capella and with the MIDI sequencer Capriccio. Since some months I use more and more my own software HUMidi - a MIDI interpreter with some unique features.
