Re: facing question

I took a couple lessons with a fine clarinetist with a performance degree from Bard. She did not mention technical problems. The clarinet is a Ridenour Lyrique, which I bought new. I am going to use synthetic reeds because I have had enough of reed madness with oboe, and I was up to a 3 on a legere. The clarinet is well in tune with itself, but my tuner said I was 20 cents flat on all pitches. I didn't hear any difference in pitch with tongue position. Perhaps if I decide to get back into it I'll go back to that teacher, whom I respect a lot, and ask her this specific question. I don't think it is going to get answered on the internet (duh!) but I was hoping for something simple. The included pro mouthpiece with the clarinet, I sent back, because I was basically unable to play on it. So maybe there are embouchure strength issues despite my background.
