Re: Rt Hand Clarion Notes Voicing

My clarinet seals well with both joints.

Karl: you may be very well on to something. As someone trying to play the Spohr Clarinet concerto with double high "C"s there is simply no way I know how to hit that note without the most round of embouchure pressure (so as to not squeak) that takes in about a micron less mouthpiece than the point at which I'd squeak.

I also find that full fingered "B" voices better and easier with ample mouthpiece behind the lips.

Then again, I imagine clarinet play is also a series of tradeoffs.

I will try the less mouthpiece/pressure angle and perhaps consider trying 3.5 reeds.
