My director needed an Eb clarinet player and is having me play it. Ive
been playing it for about 2 or 3 weeks and he expects it to be perfect,
because *sarcastically* if somebody's good at Bb, then they'll naturally
be good at Eb, right?? Well the lower register is very flat at the
upper register is kinda sharp and all the notes I play sound pinched and
Im biting down really hard. Can anybody help me?

Pluuuuuuus, I have to play bass clarinet for a wind symphony and now I
feel like Im losing my endurance when I play Bb. I lose my embouchure a
lot more quickly. Does this sound normal?? Please help meeeee......
