Subj: [kl] "Buzzy" sound ...

Hi all,

A little problem I had recently - I was trying out some new reeds recently
and had a rather annoying experience - I had found one reed which blew
beautifully, sounded great in the lower register, *but* - when played loud
in the upper register there was a horrible "buzzy" sound at loud dynamic
levels, rather like some high frequencies being too prominent in the sound.

I've noticed a similar effect on other reeds, but less marked, which makes
me think it might be me and not the reed.

Any suggestions (e.g. embouchure) that might explain this?

Cheers,

-- Joe
