Subj: [kl] questions for everybody

Hi everybody!!

I've just signed-on to Klarinet and have enjoyed reading your responses to
questions....I have a few questions of my own...

I'm a junior in high school and have played the clarinet for about four
years. I'm playing on a wooden Buffet clarinet ( i think it's an intermediate
model) and a Vandoren B45 mouthpiece. I've been getting a really irritating
glassy, shrieking sound when I play the middle C and D. I'm not sure whether
it's my clarinet or my embrochure. Slight adjustments in my embrochure does
help the sound. And I don't get the glassy sound every time I play the note,
only when my embrochure is in a certain position. But it never used to do
that before...what do you think it could be?? it's driving me crazy...

Another question...how often should pads be replaced? I'm playing on a used
clarinet that I purchased two years ago. Is it time to get them replaced?

And another question...sometimes I have some difficulty getting making some
notes respond on the Vandoren mouthpiece but when I switch to another
mouthpiece (Premiere by Hite) it's easier. However the Premiere doesn't give
the rich sound that the Vandoren mouthpiece can produce (once in awhile.)
Should I look for another mouthpiece? Is there any that you would recommend ??

I would appreciate any insight !!

Mahalo,
julia shimizu
