Mask is essential your face as it bites the mouthpiece. In this video we talk about how to check to see you have a good mask ...that is you don't bite too much or you are not too loose.

Indeed. It worked as you said! that is by far the worst " most " sensitive note on the clarinet!!!!
I am more of a biter! I ussualy get squeaking when I start playing fast songs and I kinda move my fingers very fast ( not so controlled) and that moves the clarinet...And then I bite harder cause I think that it will stop it from rotating....
I guess I need to practice slower!!!!

Interesting method...probably the first that you can actually measure your mask quality...!!!
FYI my mask is all over the place haha.... OHOH and it was much harder to keep it stable with the #1!!
