 Very Out of Tune R13 "A"
Author: saxlite 
Date:   2006-08-12 13:58

A friend has an almost new R13 "A" clarinet that plays almost 40 cents flat on throat Bb, A and Ab. The clarion register is reasonably in tune, and intonation gradually improves as you go lower on the chalumeau register. It comes with a 66.6 mm barrel. It also has the longest register tube I have ever seen, extending fully half-way across the bore. Trying a 64 mm barrel improved things somewhat, but not nearly enough to be acceptable. Would cutting the length of the register tube raise the pitch of the throat tones? Or, are there other modifications that can be done? Thanks for your suggestions.
