Thomas,

Without having played an Oehler system clarinet I believe your problem is in your choice of mouthpiece and reed setup. Both horns are probably good horns, but they blow VERY differently. Therefore, they require a different type of setup. Maybe just a different type of reed on your current mouthpiece would work, or maybe you need a different mouthpiece. Also, are you switching back and forth, or are you sticking to one system or the other. I believe you have to live (and practice) with any type of change for a period of time before you can really make a rational, detached assessment of whether the change was good. I believe the long answer to your short question is to try a different mouthpiece/reed combination before you change the horn.

Good Luck!

Jerry McD.
