 Re: Why do I sound awful?

Thanks to everyone for your helpful suggestions!

I have spent today working on my embouchure and inspecting the instrument thoroughly, and I have concluded that the problem is not with the clarinet, but down to a combination of me and the mouthpiece. The latter is slightly chipped and has no brand markings, and seeing as I bought the clarinet used I suspect I ended up with whatever crappy mouthpiece they had lying around.

So what I'm going to do is visit Howarth's in London with the clarinet and a selection of reeds, see what they recommend and try a few mouthpieces. And in future, stick to guitars.
