Schneider,

You probably should look for some advice from Mr. Klock of Buffet.

Do you play your clarinet with a string orchestra, a symphony? Do they tune
to 441?
Is your instrument built for a pitch higher than 440? Many European
orchestras do.
Is there a particular reason why you use a 64 mm barrel? That seems very
short to me, and if the instrument was built for a 440 tuning, the shorter
barrel would throw the instrument very out of tune with itself.
Why do you pull in the center and add a 0.50 mm tuning ring at this place?
What kind of a mouthpiece are you using, and have you tried any others to
see if they might help you with your tuning?
Do you study privately on clarinet and have you ever?

If you can give answers to most of the above questions, I'm sure there are
many on this news group that can offer suggestions. I could try, but more
information is needed.

Sincerely,

Richard Bush
