Re: The Clarinet does not need air

Thank you so much for posting the link to this wonderful resource. This will certainly help fill in the holes in understanding for a lot of us (myself in particular).

My first thought about "proper vibrations" had more to do with whether there was a simple formula for reed strength and mouthpiece opening that could serve as a "gold standard" with everything else being a divergence by those who prefer "going it alone."

But now as I ponder "proper vibrations" I realize that I left out (in terms of what responses I thought this query would get) the very poor playing practice that I have been attempting to correct both in private lessons and here on the Bulletin Board. The typical nascent player gets a basic sound, the reed is producing a buzz that creates the correct notes, but we can all hear that the sound lacks depth, resonance, projection. I would add to this the complication of the German clarinet mouthpiece/reed acoustic where there is much less effort involved in producing what we would all agree is a wonderful, concert worthy sound.

The beauty of this forum, as I see it, is the very notion that there are ill informed, dogmatic ideas that hopefully in the hashing out will illuminate a solution for everyone......including the ill informed (and I put myself firmly in that category).
