> Pulling out the barrel affects mostly the throat tones. Pull out the middle joint and the bell for the long notes. Mouthpieces and barrels tune differently. B2 , the long B can be played with the throat G# key instead of the register key. This brings down the pitch and makes it more stable. Any thing you try will either improve the situation or make it worse. Clarinet bores can change also necessitating a new bsrrel or mouthpiece. I'm sure someone will recommend their new $650 designer mouthpiece as the cure.

I'll give this a go - I was not aware of this tip before.

Thanks!
