I've played several times Brahms Sonatas (as every clarinetist did!)...
at the end of the first movement of the first sonata, when the theme is
played in the lower register (at 7 in the Peters Edition) you MUST pull out
the lower half of the clarinet.

How do you solve the problem with a one-piece instrument?

Just a question...
Every Buffet comes with a standard tune. You can buy a 440 or 442 clarinet,
for example.

Do they use some physic model or is there someone who has the divine gift of
the perfect intonation who tests the instruments?

In the second case... I'd like to know him!!

It opens another problem... the clarinet has a standard, a default size but
every hand is different.

I've very big hands and sometime I feel that I'm using an S instrument while
I need an XL.
In particular in the position and size of the keys.

Is there any "custom" instrument?
