Yes, my tuner does settle when i finally hit a "good" note. I can alter the
intonation of the note in the same manner a flute player would, by adjusting
the angle, by rolling in or out. I actually can do this with the bell
attached, i just find the clarient more balanced without it. But yeah, the
tuner once i hit a note, stays on that note. Ive used my tuner to figure
out what note is what, i start with a guess and go from there. Since the
clarinet is shorter by removing the barrel bell and mouthpeice, an open g is
no longer an open g, for me its usually a Bb in the extreme octave its a C
so it does jump around with octaves, but the same octave everything is
consistant. At first, just getting like a note out is so hard, but once you
get used to it, it becomes very easy, and rather pretty.
