Hi again,
Re: my Middle B's and C's -> (corton clarinet info thread)
It was my clarinet. I took it along to the repair guy, and he fixed it. Also said It wasn't worth servicing when It really needs it, but its ok to learn on for a bit.
Thus said I have a few questions on the actual playing.
Q#1: Is it normal to feel like your head has immense pressure in it when you first start playing? aka eyes feeling like they're popping out, and white noise in your head *G* Can anyone remember how they felt like when they first started playing? I don't feel like im blowing and nothing's coming out, because I am blowing and I'm getting an ok sound out, so its not like my hands over my mouth, stopping air and im trying to get it out. I just need to know if that feeling is "normal" for just starting to play.
Q#2: Why do I need to change to a higher numbered reed? Is there a real reason for this, or is it because the higher they go, the harder they are, the longer they last? I'm on a 1.5 atm, and don't really want to move to another as my Q#1 above gets even worse with a 2+.
Q#3: I squeak a lot on my 2nd octave, and have to readjust often when on that one to get the best sound that I think i'm producing. I have difficulty going from A through middle B,C, D etc. Is that a naturally hard thing to do?
Q#4: for doublers on the flute as well, are there any cases that I can get to fit Flute, and clarinet, and either have a piccolo pocket, or a piccolo section? Pref not a cover bag tho.
Thanks for any help!
Cheers,
Lifie
