Possibly, you just need to become a better clarinet player. In time=A0 =

you will learn to make embouchure, throat, tongue and breath support=A0 =

fine musicians who started out life as sax players and have become=A0 =

really fine clarinet players....but they took the clarinet very=A0 =

seriously for a very long time and before it finally became second=A0 =

nature to them. Clarinet playing is very different in many ways, as=A0 =

you are have come to realize.

I just played a pit gig where I had to play clarinet, bass clarinet,=A0 =

bari sax and bassoon. Among other things, its a lot of reeds to keep=A0 =

wet.

I guess the bottom line is just to practice.
