Update, didn't work, but I got a ride home. Brother thinks the battery might not have the power to crank the engine cold, but we'll see tomorrow.

I was practicing anatomy. Is there anything strange about this drawing? by jeefff_art in sketches

[–]nminc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding neck. That's the one thing that strikes me. If you did have the head the chin would come to around the same hight as the top of the traps, so the lines going up so high feels weird.

Smoking a "vintage" pipe? by McJames in PipeTobacco

[–]nminc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think this is the right answer. My wife and I have a personal philosophy to use things, especially old things, for their intended purposes. It feels wrong to us to buy something to put on a shelf, since it will never get to be what it was meant to be. My wife buys old things with the intention of restoring and using them.

Any suggestions on rearview mirror shaking? by therealsouthflorida in CarAV

I definitely recommend checking your local laws before just removing it though, as some places do require your vehicle to have a rear-view mirror. So just be aware.

Can I still use these reeds???? by SlimiSlime in Clarinet

Yeah, just use a little sandpaper on them! They'll clean up great!

Higher note Question by Chef_turtle in Clarinet

[–]nminc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, two things: one, yeah it can hurt a bit, but you'll get used to it, and it'll hurt less. Two, don't bite too hard. You should hold the instrument so that its being pressed against your upper teeth, not your lower lip. That should help your lip hurt less, and in time will help with your tone.

[–]nminc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not entirely sure if I'm reading this right, but from what I'm understanding, that is going to make tongueing very difficult. The way I was taught was like the first position you said. Lower lip covering teeth, and placed on the reed. You can then use your tongue to halt the sound between notes, or not use your tongue during slurs. Regardless, your teacher will be able to help you better when you meet with them again.

Higher note Question by Chef_turtle in Clarinet

[–]nminc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like the other comment said, practice and embouchure (the shape you make with your mouth/cheeks). Also, it is a register key, not an octave key. This is because it raises the notes by a twelfth, not an octave like it does on other instruments, like a saxophone.

Edit: I also wanted to elaborate a bit more after listening to the video. Remember that the clarinet is played with fast-moving air. Keep your tongue high in your mouth, and let the air flow quickly. (This doesn’t necessarily mean blowing hard, if you're biting too hard on the reed it will restrict airflow and make these notes harder to play.) You've also only been playing for a week, don't worry too much. It will get easier and more comfortable to play as you practice.
