Re: The Clarinet does not need air

Chris,
With this setup does the clarinet overblow at the octave rather than the 12th?

Regarding the initial comments, the control of "air" is about more than just producing a sound
- The basic sound production is accomplished by just pushing air, but the tone comes from a consistent pressure and flow and shaping the 'buffer volume' (i.e. mouth and throat) as a resonant cavity to shape the frequency spectrum that the reed generates
- Starting and stopping the air is the next most important facet; music is more interesting with articulation and a 'quick start' of the note requires a ready source of pressurized air, and the tongue to stop and restart for repetitive notes
- Modulation (i.e. vibrato and other parlor tricks) requires control of the air pressure/flow vs time during note sustain

All of these need to be mastered and personalized to find your own 'sound'
