Re: Palatte and jaw shape on tone quality

I have to go with Norman here as far as the mouthpiece. A good player will get a better tone with the proper moutpiece for themselvea, the right fit, with a Bundy than with a professional clarinet and a mouthpiece that doesn't fit the player properly. Of course having a knowledgeable teacher is always the best way to go but it need to be someone that is willing to experiment with different mouthpieces and different playing positions as far as tone goes. I would suggest the first thing you do is to try as many mouthpieces as you can and a few different reed strengths to find the best fit for you. Remember, one type of mouthpiece will require a softer or harder reed than another. Once you find the best mouthpiece as possible experiment with different embouchure positions, angles and tongue positions. You have to find the right way to play for you and you are the best one to find out what that is.
