 Bore Size and Pitch
Author: Brian

Hello Everyone!

Here is another of those questions that my sometimes weird little mind asks..

I know that bore size affects the way a clarinet sounds...the timbre of the instrument if you will. But does it affect pitch?

For example I know that Pete Fountain plays large bore Leblancs. This affects the way his instruments sound to a certain degree ( I also know it is affected by other things such as his reed/mouthpiece combination ) but does it affect his ability to play in tune? Well not in tune,exactly, but does a large bore clarinet play sharper or flatter than a clarinet with a smaller bore and vice versa? Know what I'm getting at?

I would love to hear ideas on this!

Happy Clarineting!

Peace!

Brian
