If you are not ready to purchase an A clarinet and you are in a real bind,
You can try placing a shoe string in your Bb clarinet so that it runs down
the entire length of the bore.

Although I have never tried it, this is an old dubblers trick, and should
lower the pitch by one half step....give or take!

Thus, you have an A clarinet and you didn't even know it.

Good luck
