Walter,

I have a Brannenized Howarth clarinet (with low "F" vent key and matched
extension) with hand-crafted Gore-Tex pads, two Backun cocobolo bells, a set
of your Grabner delrin and cocobolo barrels from 64 to 66 mm each in one
millimeter increments, and a brace of Howarth, Pyne, Grabner, Kaspar,
Chedeville, Smith, Wells, Fobes, and Bay mouthpieces. I use a Spriggs and a
gold Harrison ligature and make my own reeds from cane that comes from a
secret source in Patagonia using a custom-made reed knife made for me by
master swordmith Yoshindo Yoshihara. My swabs are made from Italian silk and
I make my own bio-degradable cork grease according to a formula created for
me by the late Linus Pauling. I keep my clarinet in a custom Wiseman case
with a Gucci luggage tag on it.

Now, Walter, I'd be glad to try your tuning test, but first, how do you
finger high "C"?
