Re: Clarinet Angle

Now you've all got me thinking and going back to checking out on all this.
Using my double embouchure (mostly) I sound an 'open' G (no fingers) and hold my Clarinet at various angles. Result ? Approximately 45 deg. That is the ideal position for my best sound. I also suspect that my sound is being projected outwards more as well because of the bell being at that angle. But everyone is different for any number of reasons.
I'm not alone in using this higher position. Check out the picture of Fredrick Thurston (1901-1953) in his Tutor book (page 10) The Clarinet (A Comprehensive Method)
