Re: Mouthpiece tone production percentage

Thank you Mark and kdk for your informative replies.

Allow me to try and rephrase the question.

A person produces a long C4 note. This note has a certain quality to it. This quality is influenced primarily (IMO) by the player, the mouthpiece, the reed, the ligature, the clarinet body and the environment surrounding the player. I included the surrounding environment because some environments enhance certain harmonics while others cancel them out.

What I'm looking for is quantitative percentage guesses of how much each of the 6 items listed affect the quality of the tone produced. I'm primarily interested in the mouthpiece and the clarinet body. However, concentrating on 2 out of the 6 might very well be impossible because of the influence of the other 4.

Again, I'm just looking for guesstimates of the following that affect or influence tone.

1) Player
2) Mouthpiece
3) Reed
4) Ligature
5) Clarinet body
6) Surrounding environment

Hopefully, what I have stated is more informative and clearer now.

I think it's going to be interesting to watch how the percentage numbers change for each respondent.

Thanks for your participation.
