Re: URGENT; Pomarico Crystal MouthPiece

I read most of the responses and scanned others. Over many years I acquired mouthpieces from legit to wide open both hard rubber and crystal, and went for a time to very hard reeds for power and purity based on published opinions. It is only recently I can play them all without those periods of singing, stuffy or buzzy. There are two issues I may have missed seeing. The mouthpiece requires a reed balanced for it - at the time of playing. Intonation requires voicing, throughout playing to be in tune. Reaching the altissimo register requires a change in the air stream, typically raising the tongue. Other useful items in relation are practicing harmonics over the range of the clarinet, long tones, embouchure stabilization, etc.
The opera clarinetist's close tip/ hard reed set up can be heard in the last row of the theater without reinforcement, as does the jazz clarinetist band leader with a wide open mouthpiece with a much softer reed. There are many combinations of setup that work. A teacher will make these and many more happen as you are ready.
