 Why does my clarinet squeak on the middle b, d, and c?
Author: pandaplane

I've been playing the clarinet for seven years now (I'm in High School band) and I've never been a squeaky clarinet player, but lately I've been squeaking a lot on the middle b, d, and c (but mostly the b). When I first start to play the B, it makes this almost honking noise and then plays, or it doesn't play at all. I also noticed that when I play my G (the octave above open G), it squeaks, but that's not as often as my problem with the b, d, and c.

I have a Buffet E11 clarinet, and I've heard that a lot of people have trouble with going over the register on this clarinet, so do you think that my clarinet it the problem? I also use a 4 rico reed; should I try to get a different reed?
Any other suggestions?

Thanks!
