Re: Bass clarinet voicing issue - pitching too high

That was exactly my thought too, Ed, and I've been trying to modify it with that in mind, but I can't seem to get my tongue into a position where the back is low enough to voice correctly but where the tip can still reach to tongue correctly.

It is worse when the air is fast, or when I'm playing loudly. If I bring the air in slowly, it doesn't do it, but then I can't get a clean start to the note, and it makes things like playing on 1 and 3 (lots of concert band bass clarinet parts) pretty difficult.

Thanks for the response, much appreciated.
