Altering the clarinet's sound

Author: Joel Clifton

Has anyone else tried to make their clarinet sound like a saxophone or oboe? If I hold my mouth loosly and open my throat I can make the clarinet sound quite a bit like a bad saxophone, and if I kind of move my throat to the "eee" position and hold the mouthpiece somewhat loose I can make it create a nasal tone somewhat like an oboe.

Also, I just posted this in another thread, but I think I'll post it here in my own thread:

Something I've just discovered is a new sound effect that I can only do well on high D for some reason. When I bend the note down to A and move my mouth just right (no margin of error), I can make that A and an A an octave above it play at the same time, and if I do it right, I can make the frequency of those two notes work together in such a way that it makes a really weird warbling sound.
