Re: Proper Alignment of the Mouthpiece

I think you would just "check" as I have outlined, you may be surprised to find out that the mouthpiece is not sitting horizontal just before you "clamp down on it."

I only put this out there because it DOES make a difference (quite a bit; very noticeable if it is not being done).

I for one would have always continued to just line up the register if I had not have to relearn the clarinet as many times as I have. At least something good came of all that.

And to the remark about ligatures: wouldn't it be great to get an immediate improvement in your sound at virtually no cost?

I guess the $500 ligature is sexier alternative.
