Subj: [kl] Intonation of buffet full boehm
Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2003 01:56:15 -0500

Hi,

I just started playing a buffet full boehm clarinet, made around 1975, and I
am having some intonation problems. There are three notes that are flat, low
F, E and then the low Eb. It gets worse as it descends. The F I can with
some difficulty bring in tune with an embouchure adjustment but when I get
to low Eb it is impossibly out of tune. The odd thing (or as it seems to me)
is that long B and C are perfectly in tune... My question is is this normal
for a full boehm clarinet and more importantly can it be fixed?

Thanks in advance,

David
