    Thank you for this excellent overview of the principles of tuning the clarinet. What a subtle and mysterious art appropriate to this quixotic wind instrument.

    I find the using just a very soft puff of air tells me much more when testing than flooding the reed with air. How little air it takes to get a response is key.

    What I do is similar: I try for successive clear staccato notes (toot) on a continuous air stream, and to begin each toot with a deliberate removal of the tongue from the reed. I also try to snap my fingers very quickly from fingering to fingering. Practicing the passage slurred, slowly, with fast snaps of the fingers and left thumb helps. Basically it’s pumped up snapped fingers plus removal-toot on a continuous air stream. I find it builds up over a period of time. It’s almost the Bonade technique with perhaps a little different perspective. It will come to those who persist.

    Awesome videos David thank you! Should I set my tuner to A440 or leave to transpose Bb. I like the transpose Bb because it shows the note I’m trying to play. Does it make a difference? Thanks again!🙏🙏🙏

    @@Evan-kj6ye Actually, If you watch reviews more carefully, there are many saying same thing (that tooth groove is too thin and teeth slipping off the patch). People just didn't happen to ask Silverstein to correct the Omnipatch. I think would be a really fantastic change and this would become best mouthpiece patch ever! As teeth would lock on the mouthpiece like no other patch and embouchure and tong would be completely free. So, as you'll see the reviews, this doesn't come entirely by me, many would like that I think. It's not one person's opinion, I just happened to suggest to them but unfortunately they didn't took It under consideration. So, that's why I don't like the company. They may have great ligatures but all aspects matter If you ask me.

    @@jimis3167 Out of everyone that I know who owns this Omnipatch and also whom swear by Silverstein, have no such issue. Reviews that I’ve pulled from online distributors also rave about the Omnipatch and only few who think that the patch is a waste of money. The groove mechanism of the Omnipatch is a good indicator for where your teeth go, but in no way should it compensate for the lack of stability of a embouchure.
