Thanks tseligas and Niaven,
Well no it doesn't squeak. (it did at the begining but then I started wetting the reed before playing it, worked on my embouchure and kept improving my hole coverage)
It is just a weak sound....It seems like I cannot get it to vibrate much. Not sure how to describe it...so I will keep talking about it.
I guess what you say...that there is no strong tone. Definitely like that. There is nowhere near the strength of the high register and it sounds bad especially when I have to hold that note and its not a passing one.
I am dissapointed.... I think it's the clarinet. I don't have another one to try out. Any ideas are welcome. It really messes me up!
