Re: Why the Difference?

Thanks for your returns.
1. Clarinet is fairly new and is called an Artiste, probably Korean. Cost new about $350 US.
2. Well mouth piece (Hite) and reed as a combination I can just swap between the two clainets. No difference.
3. It is harder to swap barrels because the Std. Artiste clarinet has a smaller diameter ( and I presume bore), but by taping up the cork on the smaller one I can swap the barrel. Result Almost no difference.
Perhaps then the problem is the smaller bore size?
4. I was able to swap the larger bore (plateau) lower half and bell and put it on in place of the Artiste one. Result, nearly same as the easy blow one.
So maybe this is a problem with all smaller bore clarinets. I can`t get measurements but has anyone tried a smaller bore one and is this the case?
5. I hav`nt got a softer reed at the moment but will sand one down and try it.
