backing tracks and drum machines

for the players that are staring out ,some clarinet players as tseligas stated make their clarinet squeak , if you are going up a scale or down and a note doesnt sound right(squeak) just try to blow that one note , and see what happens , a few times while i was praticing and the clarinet did not respond ,or stopped playing , ive had a broken spring , a pad that came loose .half would hang over the hole , or a pad that fell off completly, and if you have a diplo clarino make sure both pads seal at the same time . on mine one pad as a tendency to dry out more than the other ,so i put a drop of water on it and boom sealed .
