Airy Mid-Range Notes

Author: ms.ace

I've been playing clarinet for about 5 years but have only gotten serious within the past 2 or so, anyway I just got a step-up instrument and a new mouthpiece. Ever since I haven't been able to play mid-range notes with fingerings that don't cover many tone holes without sounding incredibly airy (notes like the Bb, A, G, F etc.) Other than these few notes I've been getting fabulous tone and overall sound and I've hade my new gear for a few months now. The horn is a 36 year old Paris made Artist Series 45 Noblet, my mouthpiece is Selmer HS* and I've been using Vandoren 3 1/2's or 4's for reeds. Could this have something to do with these reeds being the wrong type for the mouthpiece or is it my embochure? Thanks
