Eu: thank you
But some people here talk about regulating and others talk about changing pitches.
***
I talked to top technicians about overhaul before,and thier $500-750 overhaul fee does NOT include any pitch correcting tuning.
I cannot imagine how much they would charge you for this kind of tuning.
(if they agree to do those works at all.)
Good tech doesn't necessarily means that they understand the whole ramification of filling or enlarging tone hole.I don't think they know acoustics
of a clarinet well enough to do those kind of repair even when they are capable of doing mechanical work.

I can understand that you want to correct tone hole when it appears to be out of tune.But what about the other 2 dozen or so notes which are directly
or indirectly related to the hole in question?
How do you make sure filling or enlarging one tone hole or two does NOT screw up the whole register ,especially altissimios?
And what if you don't like the modification later ?It is not reversible except
special cases.
It is possible that one clarinet is SO out of tune that it needs some drastic measure.
But it is ridiculous idea that EVERY R13(for example) needs pitch correcting tuning in addition to the other adjustment and regulation to be reasonably in tune to be used by a pro.
