How can I practice clarinet more quietly?
Is there a clarinet mute that works well? Particularly good ear plugs? I'd rather not either soundproof a room, or move to the basement / garage.
What I don't want to do is reduce air flow to make the instrument more quiet, as this has gotten me to develop bad habits.
