Hi Ken,

Thanks for taking a look at that. I hadn't realised that music was airbrushed like photos of models. That's a really useful bit of perspective.

Tom - That's really kind of you. I do think it does me good to see and hear myself and realise what I look and sound like. The clothes and haircut definitely need some work too. :-)

Paul - I wondered if I could ask a bit more about the airstream part that you mentioned?

I always feel as though my tone is limited by posture. My lungs are squashed by the way I stand, when I am facing down to get my embouchure onto the mouthpiece.

I tried just now adjusting my stance so that I stand they way I used to as a soprano singer. That means standing straight up, with my chin a little bit up and my chest out like a bird.

It radically changes the sound, for the better I think, especially on open notes. I just wondered if you think that is a good idea? If it is, I can change my sling so it would hold the clarinet in that position, and I think it would work.

It's basically changing from the kind of stance in the photos on this page:

to holding the instrument at this kind of angle:

I've been through phases of doing this before, and always end up going back to the more usual angle, as the clarinet is very heavy, and plenty of professionals seem to hold the clarinet much lower down and do just fine.

I'm really sorry - because I think I've asked this before, but I'm still a bit confused about it. I wondered if you have any view on that?

Thanks!
