Re: Clarinet difficulties

Thanks for the replies.
Karel. Yes I have tried playing the clarinet, and playing an F major scale over two octaves was extremely difficult for me (though I don't play the clarinet) The amount of pressure I had to use was ridiculous compared to the alto sax. I agree that inferior equipment will do nothing but discourage a beginner. I have purposely not shared my concerns with my daughter because I don't want her to start to "blame" the instrument (an excuse that is personal favorite of mine). I also don't want her to break any blood vessels trying to play :^) I am still wondering is it normal for the instrument to provide so much resistance?

Matt
