Hi
I know the trouble that you are having. It has done
that to me many times before and it is very
frustrating. Sometimes I have found that it is the
reed and I will change it. Other times it hasn't been
the reed. It could be your mouthpiece. A small crack
or chip in your mouthpiece could also cause it to do
that, so you might want to look at that. Also, I
found that the way I position my mouth also is a
factor. I have to find what way it works, and how to
hold it to get the notes to come out. I don't know if
this helps you any, but this is what I have found from
experiencing this!!
