Subj: Re: [kl] another new r-13 question
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2003 08:03:48 -0500

I have a similar problem with my Selmer Omega. Also on mine, though, the C#
is extremely high - so much that when I play C# with another clarinet, mine
sounds a slightly flat D. For long tones, I've learned to compensate with
my air. But it's very hard to do so in fast movements. Since the G#
doesn't seem to be affected by this, is there anything that can be done just
for the C#? When I received the clarinet new 3 years ago this month, the
retailer said it was just airy sounding because of the location of the tone
hole. At the time I couldn't hear differences in pitch.
