 Re: Dying duck sound(and other questions)

A lot of my early dying duck sound was due to having too much of the reed in my mouth, I discovered. The rule of thumb is you should have 1/16" or so in your mouth. Go and get a ruler and look at it--1/16 of a inch is really just a sliver of reed.

Part of the reason I was choking up on the reed was because my pitch was flat the further towards the tip I played, so I played further up the reed, and thus was in tune--but squawking. So I had to figure out how to correct pitch with embouchure.
