Subj: [kl] Playing with braces
Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2003 00:41:33 -0500

Hi

I've been playing clarinet (Bb) for about 2 years - I'm in Grade 8 - and I
was really starting to sound okay. However, I recently got braces (and a
retainer!) and my tone has really gone down the drain, even if I take the
retainer out! Does anyone have advice for me? If this topic has been
discussed on the list before, please accept my apologies (and please tell me
where I can get the messages :-).

Thanks

Dewet van Niekerk
