Dear Forum Readers:
I am a clarinet player who has been playing the clarinet for a few years -- and I'm just beginning to focus on becoming good. However, to do that, I have to get rid of my AWFUL, SCRATCHY TONE!!! I've heard comments about it throughout the years, but I never thought it needed fixing. After hearing the clarinets in movie soundtracks, though, I can't stand to play my clarinet with this problem!

+ Please go to http://malone.freeownhost.com/poorclar.htm , hear my Awful C Scale (a small ~272 KB download), and give me advice on how to fix it .
- My e-mail address is <foreveresting@gmail.com> -- please put the word "tone" in your message subject!
- I'd be very thankful if my clarinet could sound like those in the movies!!!
