One of those clarinet conundrums that's part lack-of-skill, part equipment choice:

I can set my instrument up (reed & mouthpiece) so I can get good response at pp, or ff, but not both. What are your opinions on the best way to tackle this: set-up for ff and learn to play pp, or set up for pp and learn to play ff? Or neither? Or is the answer to choose the equipment based on the hall? It doesn't help that I feel uncomfortable playing ff in my practice room.
