 3D printed angled barrel

Hi,

I wondered if I could show you a 3D printed angled barrel that my husband made on the 3D printer for my clarinet?

He did it because I always find it quite uncomfortable to have to pull my lower jaw back to accommodate the mouthpiece, and I sometimes toy with holding the clarinet right out like a trumpet so that my jaw can be in a more natural position. We had a discussion on the BBoard before about possibly having an angled barrel made, and my husband then made one.

I'm on grade 4 now with longer pieces to play, lots of long tones, and playing pieces at half speed to hone my technique, which makes them twice as long. I find that my jaw hurts a lot by the end of a long practice, and so I decided to try the angled barrel.

This is the video of me using it:

First I play a scale with the bent barrel, then holding the instrument right out front like a trumpet, and then close to my body with my jaw pulled back.

I also previously made this short video of my normal embouchure:

and this one of an adjustment that I tried when I stop clamping my jaw so hard, but just blow much harder instead:

I sent them to my teacher too, but just wondered if anybody here might have thoughts on it? It seems like the clarinet is not entirely designed to fit the anatomy of the human jaw (yet).

Thanks!

Jennifer
