Re: Very Out of Tune R13 "A"

A & Ab (4's) can be easily adjusted be boring out the tone holes or by raising the heighth of the pad openings, without overly affecting the rest of the instruments scale. However, the Bb4 is often just simply a "flat" note and one must resort to using the side fingering which is often more reasonably in sync with the rest of the scale. All of this, of course, in case the register tubing adjustments do not do the trick. Ultimately, the Buffett A clarinets (even the "best" ones) will not play in tune by itself--they must be played in tune by the player. Good luck.
