Re: your comments about moving embouchure for various registers and
inability to play really well without doing so...

Well, my experience is different. In all of my life, the best clarinet
players I have heard were the ones that didn't "move their embouchure a 1/2
inch" when playing in different registers. Gee, to try to find a reed that
has that sort of variance (and support) sounds frightening.

YIKES! Could someone pull out the knife? !!!

That is not to say that you aren't a wonderful, cream of the crop player,
but I have never known, seen or heard this experience (and I pursue this
discussion in knowledge - not ego).

Are there some acoustical/musician studies you could refer me to?

Thanks,
