Re: Weird Clarinet sound middle e and f

Author: 12of12

So what should I do about the e and the f? I have a piece that uses these two notes often along with the 4th octave e and the high c and d but this growling noise translates to the other notes and its almost impossible to play them. Its almost as if I was playing the high notes with enough to air to produce this half sound the other half a weird undertone (noise you get when not using enough air) type of noise and its really annoying me. If I play anything without the middle e and f everything is fine. Could it be maybe the ligature or the mouthpiece? Possibly even the reed? I have a ligature and mouthpiece from a cheaper marching band clarinet that I could switch to check? What should I do? If its really necessary I'll post a video on what I'm talking about.
