 Re: Checking mouthpiece tenon seal

A truly fascinating experiment, the one linked to by Paul.

However, I hope it doesn't fool anyone to wrong conclusions - such as:

- "No matter if I use my diaphragm/abdominal muscles for breath support or not, since how I sound is not about how I blow into the instrument, but just about the vibrating air column inside the bore."

Or:

- "No matter if my clarinet is sealing well or is leaky like a sieve, since how it sounds and behaves is not about the air going in it and out, but just about the vibrating air column inside the bore."

All of us who have had even a tiny leak from a pad (and the actual airflow through it would probably be ridiculously small in quantity, if even measurable) can testify to its immense effect on the response of the instrument (on the tones below the leak, and the more the higher up it's located).

Let us also remember that even in that experiment, a continuous airflow is still needed - though it's diverted away from the bore and affecting the latter only through an airtight membrane. Block that airflow, and gone would be also the sound from the instrument.
