Re: Air Leak

From the description it does not sound to me like hissing from too close a pad, because it sounds as though YAB is hearing the rushing of air under the reed (along with some tone) which is a very different effect. He seems to think his old clarinet does not do that even with the new (potentially bad) mouthpiece. Clearly, a return to the old mouthpiece or a better new one could solve all the problems, but I have a hunch that the instrument may have a couple of difficult notes which are causing the reed and mouthpiece to act inefficiently. Changing pad height might not cure that, so it could be that the instrument has an in built problem.
