Re: stuffy note

As suggested above, your ear may percieve stuffiness due to the placement of the tone holes on your clarinet--left, right, farther from your mpc, etc. Try this an old trick--go stand in a corner........and play your clarinet, I might add. The logistics of the corner and the way it compremises the uneven distribution of your tone holes in reflecting sound waves to your ears will give you a better idea of how your clarinet sounds to the audience. Often, what sounds like a "stuffy" long B4, actually sounds much more clear and even from a distance away.

However, the stuffiness may be due to all or any of the other problems cited in others responces--just thought "standing in a corner" might be helpful for you to try.
