Subj: [kl] Palatial Air Leak
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 1998 08:32:04 -0500

Hi. I've only been playing for 8 years, so I probably don't have a clue
what I'm talking about, but i think your problem might be tiredness. When
I'm playing too long my armbrochure gets to the point where i can't hold
it tight, and air leaks out. You may not know it but it may be the air
leaking out of the sides of your mouth that you're hearing and not your
throat.
Well, I tried. I hope it made SOME sense. I'm sorry. :)

Hi. I'm a music performance student at Indiana State University. I
need to know if any of you have had a problem such as this. Whenever
I play for an extended period of time, a sound comes out of my throat
that sounds like an air leak. I think it's called a Palatial Air
Leak (I remember reading something about it in the clarinet journal).
I have tried everything short of cutting my head off, and that
incessant noise still comes from my throat. Do any of you know what
it is?

Yours Truly,

Ricardo
