Actually, it is really interesting to read about all the new products
available to clarinet players these days. However, the most important product,
in my opinion remains the constant attention to good basics: embouchure,
breath support, finger placement, and a constant devotion to scales,
arppeggios, Baerman Book III, Klose, Rose 32 Etudes, and duet playing. These
"products" will overcome most problems with clarinets, mouthpieces, register
tubes, and even in some cases, reeds! I am of the old fashioned opinion that
many modern day students of the clarinet may be drifting away from these
basics. Chester754
