 How to make c# sound better
Author: locke9342

Hi, I'm a fairly decent clarinet player, playing for 3 ish years now, and I've always had a pretty good tone, but the C#(below the staff) has always sounded absolutely dreadful and it really bothers me. I've been doing long tones for a very long time and still it sounds horrible. Are there any tricks like on Bb I hold down a few fingers and that makes the tone better? I have a B12 with a 5rv lyre and use various vandoren reeds mostly 3 1/2 v12's. I've been looking to upgrade for a while, but I'm just waiting for a good deal ( I might be getting a rydenour or a C12 off craigslist). Any tips are appreciated thanks in advance.

-Jonathan

EDIT: Also is there a resource where you can here what a proper clarinet sounds like? I mean like just a video of a pro going through all the notes so I can hear what I'm aiming for
