Equipment for streetmusic
with accompainiment: the speaker is connectet with bluetoth with the smartphone. There is the app "iReal" direct at the clarinet. The clarinet is unplugged. You have a great flexibility to play solo or with any streetband, for example Dixie or others.
for make the clarinet light, I wear a strap for saxofone. All tunes, (sometimes I have forgotten the accords, I find it on iReal at the smartphone. iReal even can make an accompainiment.
on stage:
my instruments and eqipment:
- clarinet: Selmer full-boehm,

I need several different software:

- for read and/or transpose the changes on stage iReal is very usefull
- for make a control- recordings with BaiB, I need Cubase Elements
- for make a leadsheet, I need Sibelius or iReal
- for make a song slower for to play with the masters, I need anytune, also when I play with MMO-mp3's
- iPad is easy to handle on stage for all kinds of information ( pdf, text ect.) with goodreader or forescore
