Re: Large Interval Squeaks?

It’s quite hard to give concrete advice. It sounds a bit like you something is making you a bit less flexible in what you can do generally.

Rather than focussing on ‘voicing’ which I find is a bit nebulous (and open to mis interpretation and over doing it - really quite small adjustments), consider blowing a little less for the lower note. This is sort of in line with what Karl said - decelerating the vibration of the reed. The tonguing will work as well, although I think it should be possible without (it is for me).

But finding a bit more flexibility in general - maybe different reed (not necessarily different strength just different response) less rigid embouchure for example - may help solve the problem.
