It is normal the horn sounds sharper after 30 minutes of playing. The reason may
caused by weather or the strength of lips. A clairnet player always need to warm
up the instrument for some time before tune with the orchestra. There should be
two different length barrels come with the clarinet, choose the longer one. In
some case you might need to even use the barrel come with the 'A' clarinet.
