 Loudness

I've noticed that I play louder than the rest of my clarinet section. The principalis an All-State member (which I have yet to match), and her "f" sounds about like my "mp". She's taken professional lessons, while I've only recieved them on bass.

1) Since I play bass clarinet and tuba during concert season, I'm not all too concerned. BUT, is it bad to be so loud? I find that it helps me blend more on contra.

2) What could cause me to play so loud? Could I be loud because of a setup or embouchure issue? I can't readily get to a lessons instructor, and it may just be something obvious.

3) What are some ways to play softer but still keep good tone?
