>> As a general guide, the closer a clarinet component is to your mouth the greater the effect it has on the sound.>>

That oft-touted idea has been pretty comprehensively demolished. I posted an exhaustive and perhaps exhausting collection of posts about it here, which I now can't find. However, this is Joe Wakeling's summary of an exchange on the Klarinet:

>> Tony Pay says that changing your bell may work for you, and indeed it may.>>

I wasn't really saying that the original poster should investigate changing his bell. I was saying that bells can make more of a difference than one might naively think, in response to the poster who said that bells don't make a difference.

However, that poster then went on to say – wisely, in my view – that the pedigree of one's instrument is irrelevant if it plays well.
