 Re: Bright Vs Dark-really, please explain this to me

Just as an example of how differently people hear, I was listening to a recording of the Munich Philharmonic and I turned up what turned out to be (for me) a thin sounding example of a clarinet solo. A saxophone playing colleague of mine said, "That's a really dark clarinet sound."

You get the picture.


My thought about this is that we bandy these terms around when speaking of sounds that lack substance vs. those that have a full sound. My recommendation if yours falls in the former category is to use MORE AIR. You do this by using a full tank (as it were) and pressing with your abdominal muscles to ensure a steady stream of air. On top of this it helps to focus up at the top (in your mouth) by thinking the sound "EEEEE." One way to think of 'focusing' is the difference between the way you'd blow on your hands coming in out of the cold to warm them up (warm, unfocused air) vs. how you'd blow on a hot cup of coffee to cool it down (fast, focused air).
