I, too, recently bought a Woodwind C clarinet. Generally i have been pleasantly surprised by how well it has played, and especailly about how well it is generally in tune. I use a Grabner AW mouthpiece on it, and i up to high C it is surprisingly good. I find that the high C is ever so slightly flat. Then again, so is the throat F, so i need to go in and modify that tone hole a little. The altissimo tends to be a little flatter than i am used to, but then on my Bb and A i don't generally use the Rt pinky Eb key either. Using that on this C clarinet generally brings those notes (D,Eb,E and F) into reasonable intonation.

It's a student instrument, and of course i knew that going into it, but as infrequently as i have call for a C clarinet it seemed a reasonable way to go. Certainly if i land a job with the opera i'll get something nicer...which means not in this lifetime, probably.
