Downward...er...scoop?

Author: willow129q  Date:   2015-02-22 19:29 Hi all! I haven't posted on here in years! But I was wondering, how do klezmer clarinetists do that downward slide/scoop on notes? (I don't know if there's a name for that) Is it a finger thing or totally done with the mouth/throat? One of my friends is a klezmer violinist and I've listened to his band's stuff for years and I've messed around learning some of the tunes by ear but that part totally boggles me. I wonder if my reed is too hard... To show what I'm talking about... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHtFTJcq4MU the guy in this video does that scoop at around 0:22 seconds. Thanks very much -Willow
