A Research Study of a Technique for Adjusting Clarinet Reeds

Abstract

T HE MAIN PURPOSE of this project was to find a technique of adjusting clarinet reeds that would not disturb the basic structural balance of the reed. In carrying out the project the techniques of preparation and adjusting of single reeds which are described by leading clarinet and saxophone artists were investigated. Related to this was the examination of a quantity of commercial clarinet reeds. Since the procedures involved were those available to the performerteacher at home or in the studio, the project should be regarded only as a preliminary investigation into a rather complex problem. It was undertaken with the hope of bringing to light some possibilities which might serve as a basis for further and more scientific investigation.
