Tseligas - I agree- if possible move posts from elsewhere to where they should be.
I would also like to add that if possible use a good ligature for an improvement
in "your" sound.
I use a Rovner and it does indeed make a difference to sound produced.
I would also recommend that an individual use a synthetic reed when
practicing to save on reeds. I use a Legere #2 and it does not require
moisture, shaving, sanding etc. It also blows free without having to warm up.
Even when the clarinet is cold it produces a good sound.
The only drawback is that they are expensive - they run between $25-$40 depending on where they are purchased.
I usually have 4 or 5 reeds that are ready to play after I have worked on them
to the point of being very responsive and great sounding.
