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

I find that I have to be very careful with B, C and D otherwise they squeak. Are these difficult notes?

For instance, when I play open G up to the B/C/D quickly it often gives out a horrendous squeak. I'm still trying to find out exactly why: perhaps my fingers don't go down smoothly, or maybe my embouchure slips, or my air flow changes.

I do find that if I blow loudly there is less chance of a squeak, but if I play quietly you can almost guarantee a squeak

Any help with this would be very appreciated! I have been playing for more than a year, and it's very frustrating that I still can't play cleanly. I feel that it is holding me back and making me very cautious in my playing, which is stopping me from developing my technique
