Hi Mmichael,

If you're stuck, you could possibly get an angled barrel made by someone with a 3D printer, so that your clarinet mouthpiece enters your mouth at the same angle as on the saxophone. I toyed with that idea for a while, when I was experimenting with double lip playing. I wrote to a clarinet part maker and he said it would only be about $30 or something like that.

I've fiddled around a lot with modifications to my clarinet and every time I get another little niggle sorted out via a modification it brings on my playing in leaps and bounds. My feeling is that if the instrument was only invented in the 1700s then the design is not yet finished and we are free to make improvements. :-)

Good luck there.

Jen
