I have recently started playing clarinet and am having trouble with squeaking (actually I'm having no trouble squeaking at all, it's stopping that's the problem). It's a brand new Hanson clarinet with no leaks that I can find so I'm not blaming the instrument.
I have been playing tenor sax for six years and my embouchure is strong and I'm wondering if that is the problem I'm having with the clarinet. I'm thinking that I need to change the mouthpiece to something with a larger opening but am having trouble equating clarinet sizes with saxophone sizes.
I thought I'd try equivalence as place to start so to sum up: I use a 7 opening with a 3.5 reed on my tenor sax, what is the equivalent on clarinet?
Cheers
