Thanks again for a reply! I'm all very new to this *G*
Ok Barrel, that figures, I'll remember that.
The thing with the B is that I may occasionally hit something like a B, but not often, and I'm not sure how pitch perfect it is. I'm still confused with the B sound. Like on a Flute it's actually A - If you get what i mean. So whilst I think it sounds a little funny, when I play a note correctly, it's not for the clarinet, it's just my mind playing tricks, and it prolly will be like that till I get used to the clarinet sounds.
Urm, what key is the C key that i should try to hold down to see if it leaks? I'd like to try this when I can hit a B. Because I can't actually get it most of the time, i'm lending myself to think that perhaps its me not the clarinet. It's prolly easier to fix myself! And when i say can't get it, i mean a sound full stop, rather than constant squeaks.
Generally is anything above, say A2, harder to learn to play? With the flute it's very easy to overblow and just get the 2nd octave note, or at least close to it. Not a great technique, but it does the job till you learn to get it properly.
There are a few manky looking pads on there, but they do seem to close tho. I don't mind not having a pristine looking/behaving clarinet. I just want something to blow, so I can at least try it.
And I love the definition of a CSO. I could come up with a few FSO candidates from my local band (sadly for the kids who play ...*try to*... play them.) I once lent my TJJ flute out for a wee while, whilst I taped down a leaky key on someones FSO. Couldn't believe the sound they had playing mine over theirs. *sigh*
