Re: Airy and fuzzy tone on Bb Clarinet

If you're finding the LH notes and especially the throat notes stuffy and haven't had your clarinet serviced for several years, you can get build-up in the toneholes where they meet the bore which will compromise the tone quality. You can only see this once the keys are off and is why it's important to have your clarinet serviced regularly to be sure the toneholes are all clear of accumulated debris (a mix of dried condensation, dust, fibres and grease).
