Alvin Swiney sent this to me and asked me to forward it to the list. I do so without comment. Walter

Alvin says:

<<Where pitch variance is concerned, I think you are all correct as most clarinets have left hand notes (High A, B, and C) that tune to A-442 and Right hand notes Low E, F and G that tune to A-439. This is especially true on the A clarinet. It is impossible to attain a constant pitch level when the instrument is out of tune within the scale.
