 Re: Relative high pitch of certain note

It sounds like one or two possibilities:

an embouchure problem - are you pressing down too firmly on the reed? The reed should rest with comfortable support - just enough to keep it stable in the embouchure. Pressing down on the reed will cause the opening to narrow and raise the ptich.

The second problem might be a reed with a too small/narrow opening - that can also raise the pitch of a note(s). The reed should have a oval opening that is not too narrow.
