Re: The Clarinet does not need air

I recently came to a similar conclusion as Paul about sound creation on the clarinet.

For me the epiphany was re-reading Keith Stein's book and remember what he said in my lessons about sound and support.

To boil it down, he said to imagine a box directly under your nose and you blow into it to produce sound and focus the air. He did also say that imagining blowing into the instrument and the sound coming from half way down the pipe is another approach.

So I followed up with his first ideal and took that leap that there is always air in the instrument that needs to vibrate for sound. The notion that you blow through the instrument to "fill it up" with air stills might give a better idea for students, but technically the sound is generated by the reed vibrating the air already in the tube.
