Jump in range of notes causing squeak

Author: razaz03

Hi all,

I'm off sick from work so naturally it's clarinet-practise time!

I've noticed that when I jump between a range of notes sometimes it causes a squeak, on this occasion I've managed to reproduce the squeak to a startlingly high frequency (> 80%).

In the past I've simply attempted to squeak and fixed it from there - and I've tried analysing but I'm finding it tough spotting my issue.

The sound file attached goes from middle-D to open G (D to A practising D Minor arpeggio is how I found this particular one).

As you can hear it's pretty constant and pretty nasty! Do you guys make any special accommodations (change air or quicker fingers?) or have any thoughts when jumping between a large range of notes, or is this a me-issue?

Thanks for your tips!

Just uploaded it again (with that reply) and I don't see it although I wait for it to upload each time I try.. seems like a website issue.
