Re: Air pressure

I have had two inexplicable instances where I could't even get a sound out of a clarinet (just mouthpiece; on clarinet-tried three different ones). This happened one day last October and the other just two days ago. If I had a concert on those days I would have been completely without recourse.

The only thing I can attribute this two is some odd confluence of temperature, humidity and barometric pressure (air pressure determines how fast air molecules move). For the record these were pre-storm days with particularly low pressure (29.5ish).

But I have no scientific explanation for why my playing completely shut down.
