Buffet Clarinet Factory Tour
Very cool video of how wood clarinets are made.
Farewell: Himie Voxman
I heard about this on the Klarinet list this morning, and now it is verified. Sad. He made and complied a lot of wonderful things.
Himie Voxman (1912-2011)
Influential music educator and longtime University of Iowa faculty member Himie Voxman has passed away at the age of 99. If you are a woodwind player, you have almost certainly used, at some point in your musical studies, something written or edited by Professor Voxman.
Check out the Iowa City Press-Citizen’s tribute for a nice overview of his life and career.
