 Finding the "sweet spot" on the bell
Author: ruben

The French clarinetist and teacher, Guy Deplus, who passed away recently, always advised finding the "sweet spot" on the bell of a clarinet. In other words, turning it ever so slightly until you come to a full revolution. According to him, there was a precise spot that was best for the response of the instrument; find it and put a marker on it. Have any of you tried this? Does this really work or is it the placebo effect? Personally, I find this works on the barrel. On the bell; not so sure.
