 Squeaking?
Author: artang

Hello!

I'm an intermediate-beginner clarinet player and have been looking around, but can't find any solution for my specific problem.

I can play most notes up to about e6 without any problems in sound or intonation, but on a4 and b flat 4, I almost always squeak. This has caused me to have an extreme drop in confidence, and I now play those notes very lightly and softly.

If it helps, I am using a Yamaha 250, stock mouthpiece and ligature, and a 3.5 vandoren traditional reed.

If I'm doing anything wrong/strange/not recommended, could somebody please point it out to me?

Thanks in advance!
