now leventis , i was praticing after about 20 minutes ,the clarinet went muff, i thought a pad came loose , after close examination the tip of the reed started to splinter , so ah ahhh, changed my reed and we are back in buiessness ,so the clarinet will play one minute then the next it stops so if you are a beginner ,check the reed also .
