Re: Tuning: M15 ser.13 & M30 (regular)

Fiddling with my set up today, I found that (when warmed up) a 1-mm pull on the barrel lowers the long fingered notes about 10-cents, so I'd look for a barrel that is a mm or 2-mm shorter.

The mystery if the -13 Vandoren mouthpieces continues for me. I have a wonderful new 'piece on a Zinner blank. It is very much easier to play than my M30/13 (88), but does not provide the nice, uniform scale of dthe M30.

I'm going to have an M30/13 refaced to match the lay of my new mouthpiece and try THAT!

Some folks will probably suggest that your wide 12ths inspire a new barrel. My old horn was 30-cents out of tune with itself, so I have a new clarinet.
