Cane being a natural substance will vary, whilst the reed making machine's
cut will not.
In any box of ten clarinet reeds
only one or two will play with little trouble. If you know what
to do, you can make all your clarinet reeds work just as well.
Don't throw your clarinet reed away too soon.
With a little "carpentry" or clipping, you can give your
reed a new lease of life. When a reed plays up in rehearsal or concert,
your Clarinet Reed Doctor could get you out of trouble.
 Are
your clarinet reed problems like these?
(Click on image

Problems covered are:
1. The tone is stuffy or unclear throughout all
registers. (See the sample page.)
2. I can't get a clear tone - the reed seems
to hiss throughout the range and I have difficulty getting the notes
above high C.
3. The reed is far too hard and it is extremely
difficult to produce any sound at all.
4. The bottom notes are unresponsive and difficult
to play quietly.
5. Notes around clarion E are hard to produce,
unclear and feel generally stuffy.
6. Tonguing and staccato are poor or difficult.
The tone in the clarion register is generally a little fuzzy.
7. Notes in the top octave are fuzzy or unresponsive.
8. The reed squeaks without warning.
9. The reed was fine but is now too soft with
the tip extremely thin or damaged.
10. The tone is raspy and lacks richness.
11. The clarinet sounds flat on all notes, despite
tuning adjustments.
For
less than half the cost of a box of reeds, your Clarinettist's
Reed Doctor will save you money immediately
- and forever!
Even better, it will help you
to get the best sound from your clarinet.
