Re: My Clarinet won't make a sound

Have you looked to see if there's there something stuck inside the mouthpiece? Did the reeds you're using ever work well on this particular mouthpiece (maybe the strength is just too soft)?

Trying to answer your question, with all respect, is really sort of a fool's errand. With the best of intentions, everyone here is making all kinds of guesses about an explanation for your problem without being able to hear or see it in person. Probably anyone with only a little more experience than you have as a clarinet player could look at and try your setup and tell you instantly what the problem is without having to guess.

Are you a student in a band program at school or an adult playing for yourself with no regular access to other clarinet players? If you're in any kind of band, someone there is capable of finding the problem for you. If you're an adult loner, someone at a nearby music store or maybe a local high school or junior high (or whatever the Canadian equivalents are) music teacher should be able to help.
