Ditto to all the above who advised a good teacher. You could end up battling with your embouchure because of the wrong mouthpiece/reed combination and it's a revelation when someone in the know points you in the right direction. Trust me, I know all about this because I could play some reasonably complex stuff as a self-taught player but never really felt in control of the instrument's sound until a good teacher watched me and told me what would work best for my particular style and build. It takes direct contact because even the best books can only advise you what's right for most people and everyone's different.
