You could also take the lower joint off, place the bottom end on the palm of
your hand and blow through the top, while fingering a low E. Same concept,
just less room for error. If you hear air escaping, move your free hand
around the clarinet until you feel where the are is coming out. Just a
general way to check for leaks
