 Custom Tuned Clarinets . . . have you? Why/why not?
Author: sfalexi

Just doing some latenight thinking. Turns out that the Bb I have at home had work on it done by Backun. It was told me to AFTER I had already bought it, but it sure sounds too good to have been bought directly from a store and never worked on.

And I remember more than a few posts talking about "brannenizing" or "spiegalthaling" or the like. So have you? Why/why not?

As for me . . .

My current horn already had the work done before I bought it. Would I do it to another horn? Definitely. As a matter of fact, I'm probably going to send my A clarinet out to have it worked on when I get a chance. Would I have done so BEFORE trying one out? Probably. I probably would have bought the cheapest used "professional" horn that had a very good sound to it (my thoughts go back to a Selmer 10G Z-series horn that I had purchased for $800) and would have spent upwards of $500 dollars to have a superb-sounding, $1300 dollar horn. Almost a thousand dollars less than a brand new storebought horn of the most popular (and cheapest that I've found) "professional" model.

How about you?

[EDIT] - PS - For this thread, let's include those few custom MADE clarinets in the category of custom tuned. So you Chadash, Rossi, Eaton owners would answer "yes" while if your clarinet wasn't assembled on a long and vast assembly line (the big four, Howarth, Amati, and, of course FirstAct) may or may not have sent it to get tuned (a custom tuned firstact clarinet . . . . . . . . [shivers])
