Re: Sweeter, darker, larger sound?

For me it ALL comes down to AIR SPEED. You need to have the most focused, quickest column of air that you can produce streaming into the mouthpiece to produce a large, dark sound.

Several suggestions: think of the sort of airstream you produce when trying to cool a hot cup of coffee.

Try holding a six inch by six inch piece of notebook paper against a wall with your just your air standing about a foot away for as long as you can.

If you can feel the clarinet vibrating under your fingers.......you're well on your way.
