The last serious Eb soprano clarinet playing I did was for just one year as a
graduate student. That was many, many years ago. I don't have anything to
contribute to this thread other than to comment on one thing Craig mentioned.

attention)

"I know my altissimo notes had a tendency to go WAY sharp, I can't pull out the
barrel too much because then that makes everything else, especially the throat
tones, flat."

I very much believe in using tuning rings to help the very problem that Craig
just mentioned. I realize there probably wouldn't be much of a market for them,
but someone should offer tuning rings for Eb soprano clarinet. Is anyone out
there interested in doing this?
