I been wondering for awhile why when I try to tounge F ( 5th line of =
the staff) I get a metallic sound. I know that it's not the ligature ( =
Bonade Inverted), the reeds that I've been using ( V-12's size 3 1/2 and =
Rico Royals size 3 1/2), so what I want to know is what is causing this =
metallic sound. My clarinet is a 4 year old LeBlanc LX. When I slur =
it, it sounds fine, but when I have to hit that note it comes out funny. =
Is it just me or does that happen to other people on this list?
