Hi Terry,

Your coming to the Klarinet list is a good way to find people who can help you begin to understand your clarinet. It would be helpful to know more specifics about your instrument such as the total length from bell to barrel and an average bore diameter (I found this helpful in determining the pitch of a high pith Bb clarinet that I have that is of the same total length as a Bb clarinet pitched in A=440). Pictures of the instrument and the key work would also be helpful in helping you better understand your instrument.
