hello, i dont post here much, but i have really enjoyed reading and learning from everyone elses posts. anyway, i am a highschool student (going to be a senior next year), who plays on a buffet festival clarinet. i've recently acquired a new mouthpiece, going from a morgan 10 to a morgan 6. ive found that the morgan 6 combined with vandoren v12 4.5 reeds and an olegature (sometimes BG super revelation) gives me the sound i, and my teacher, are looking for. however...since i have gotten this new mouthpiece i have found it increasingly hard to play anything above high G. is this a usual problem when you first get a new mouthpiece or is there a defect in my mouthpiece? could it be that the harder reeds and more closed facing are actually making it more difficult for me to play these high notes? like i said, i really like the tone i have in all the registers with this set-up...but those high notes (specifically high C, B and Bb) just won't speak like they used to. I didnt notice this problem until i was playing the first spohr concerto tonight, and came to the C major arpeggio starting on low E and going up to C. I am a fairly advanced player...i've been to state band, pa governors school, and im going to the tanglewood institute this summer. any imput would greatly be appreciated. thank you.
