Hello all of you fellow clarinet lovers. I'm kinda new to this forum but I registered because I need some help!
I'm a sophomore in high school (kinda young, huh?) and I've been playing the clarinet for 7 years and I love it so much. I'm planning on majoring in music performance on clarinet and I would love more than anything to play with really prestigious ensembles (classical ones). But right now, I'm kinda stuck on something...
My clarinet is an intermediate one. It's a Selmer Signet, but I'm not sure exactly what model or anything. I know that it's made of wood, but again, I'm not sure exactly what kind. (I sound very naive and dumb, I know). ok, to be completely honest, we bought it on Ebay about 3 or 4 years ago. And honestly, it was in pretty good condition and it has served me very well over the past few years. A few months ago I bought a B45 mouthpeice and it's working really well for me. And just a few days ago I got over 50$ of repairs for it. they replaced some pads and adjusted some things. I play on a #4 Vandoren reed. I'm using a brand new reed and my awesome mouthpeice and my clarinet seems to be repaired, but for some reason it KEEPS SQEAKING and I'm really getting frustrated. I have no idea what to do about and my private instructor doesn't know exactly what it is either. I have State Band auditions in a week and a half and I'm really freaking out. I need some advice. Does anyone know what I could do?
