Hey Sean,

Exactly - there are Register Changes on the clarinet. One would hope for no breaks.

I don't use the term "break" as Register change is more accurate and less frightening to talk about. Who wants to talk about "going over" a break - or talk about "the break" in a clarinet. You're just playing through a register change. Words matter.

I've tried to get others to change from "break" to "register change." I wrote a long article about "There Are No Breaks In the Clarinet." Cracks for sure.

As you wrote, one should not be arbitrary about what or where the register change is.
