Thanks for the advice. It does seem to have helped. Still having a little
difficulty with volume control, but already finding that I can produce the
higher notes more reliably with much less physical exertion. I even got to a
high E. It wasn't very good, but it was definitely an E.

Okay, here's another dumb question, but it's kind of driving me buggy that I
can't figure it out. Probably because my knowledge of scales is still pretty
rudimentary. If the natural scale of the clarinet is B-flat, and indeed we
find that it plays B-flat between the C and the A, shouldn't there then be
an E-flat between the D and the F? Instead it plays E. Am I missing
something or is the horn just perverse?
