 Problems with bass clarinet
Author: sfalexi

I just started playing bass clarinet recently and am having trouble playing certain notes. Anything higher than the the E in the second register (thumb register key) seems to be accidentally hitting higher harmonics. Is this a characteristic of too soft a reed, a bad ligature, a bad mouthpiece or a combination? I play Rico size 3 (on regular clarinet I use Gigliotti Plus 3.5), with the stock mouthpiece and the stock metal ligature, non-inverted.
