Re: Airy and fuzzy tone on Bb Clarinet

If your Ridenour clarinet is in good mechanical shape, then look to your MP and reed. Tom's clarinets are easy to play with a good sound and should not have fuzzy notes ...

For a centered, easy sound, a Reserve X0 or Vandoren M13-lyre and Pilgerstorfer Dolce #3.5 reeds work well for me ... the Pilgerstorfer reeds have changed my life ...

You don't have to use really stiff reeds to prove anything ... IMHO, an easy blowing setup that allows you to play all the notes and with good sound and articulation is the target. No softer, no stiffer. No blood, no sweat, no tears.
