 Difficulty with some note fingerings
Author: MarkB2014

Hi all,

This is my first post here so I hope I can be of help to others and vice versa.

I have been playing for about 10 weeks, and have difficulty with two particular fingerings :

1. In the lower register, going from C down to to B results in what I can only describe as a mushy attack on the B note. It sounds like the note doesn't crisply start. This mushiness does not occur when I go from C to Bb to A. Any thoughts? The Bb key was bent at an odd angle when I bought the clarinet but I have since had it straightened professionally so I think the key is fine.

2. I have difficulty in the lower register going down from low A to low G# - the difficulty I have is that I am not pressing both the G# pinky key and the RH ring finger down simultaneously. Is this common and are the any ways to overcome specific difficulties that require these two fingers to work together better?

Thanks, Mark.
