Anti squeak

you would need 12 volt led lights , it has to be thin so the air gets out ::

It is tricky yes. Whatever I put inside will probably mess up the sound. Unless I drill small holes from the back in like 4 areas for exAmple and then I insert the LEDs flash with the bore id. 12 volts shouldn't be an issue. Of course I would never do that to my good clarinet!

Θα προσθέσω εγω μια αιτία που κάποτε την ανέφερα μεταξύ σοβαρού και αστείου, αυτός που μου την είπε όμως ισχυριζόταν ότι του είχε συμβεί: κουφάλα στο δόντι! Ο αέρας στροβιλίζεται περισσότερο μέσα στο στόμα και σε κάποιες συχνότητες το όργανο χάνει! ΕΠαναλαμβάνω, δεν ξέρω αν είναι απόλυτα αληθής ή όχι! Η λύση προφανής... οδοντίατρος!

what i notice is give youre klarinet to 3 different players , you will notice a difference in the sound , ,like one might be more fuller , another might be fuller and louder , and another might be richer ,it is hard to describe ,but i have in a parea where ive wittness it first hand , im not talking about the pitch , maybe tsarouxis is on to something!

I think the old guys had all "maseles" haha :-)

Here is another squeaking reason:

Fingers not covering the holes properly. Incorrect hand position.

Remedy: Check yourself at the mirror (your fingers)
The supporting hand needs to to be at 90 degrees with the clarinet. If for some reason (thumb rest not adjustable or just a bad habit) that may cause the bottom hole to be a bit open.

tseligas when i first started i would look in the mirror ,and i would ,recommend to everybody if you have problems with squeaking or ? watch youre fingers very closely in the mirror. and the big key is to see if the keys are interfering with youre fingers .

When I first started.....(That's a nice idea for a thread Chitown ....I will start that one...and I will save my response for there):-)))
