Has this ever happened to anybody else?
I was doing scales. C-major, very exciting. Clarinet is now playable (doesn't sound great, but I don't remember it ever sounding great, and I'm pretty sure the largest part of the problem is between clarinet and chair) and I'm getting back into practicing daily.
So today I'm doing my C-major scale. And on the A, I hear this metallic rattle.
Worrisome. So I try some more playing. Everything else is fine, but on the A, a metallic rattling sound, very quiet but noticeable.
And, I realize, not coming from the clarinet. When I move into the hallway, try the A... nothing. So what the heck is going on?
It was, I swear, an empty soda can on my desk sitting next to some other miscellaneous junk. Vibrating every time I hit the A and hitting against a nearby piece of cardboard.
Very weird. I know objects can resonate to certain frequencies, but I've never had it happen to me before. But then, I didn't use to practice in a cluttered office. I wish I had space to set up a dedicated practice area, but it's a pretty small apartment. At least it's not some new issue with the clarinet. About gave me a heart attack at first.
