tuning:
Low Register:
small bore: in tune chalumeau right hand (after undercutting)
large bore: sharp chalumeau right hand depending upon the bore size
Middle:
small bore and large bore have rather compatible clarion registers

Plus, the large bore clarinet is hardly in tune with itself, since its'
right hand low tones are not only high to the clarion of the small bore
clarinet, but high in relation to its' own clarion pitches.

Tom..........

I have hardly been able to sleep since you suggested that my Selmer 10-G's
were inappropriate tuning wise for anything but performing with sloppy
pitched orchestras!

LOL!

Seriously........I have checked over and over with my tuner. My right hand
chalumeau notes are NOT sharp to the rest of the horn.

Now my question is: How big is the bore of my instrument? How do I find out?
WHat tool do you use to measure, and Where do you measure?
