during the last couple of weeks i have felt a strange change in intonation in my clarinet. the whole rigth hand has gone about 10 cents sharp and i have to pull my barrell about 2,5-3 mm(!!!!!) when i get high, to stay on 442.(before i just pulled about 1.5mm)
i know this might very well be me doing something wrong all of a sudden. but i shure cant figure out what it is!
suggestions???

If it's the right hand that is sharp then pull out in the middle joint instead of at the barrel.

yes. that is one way to correcting it.
but the problem is that it is something that has occured in the last month.
so there has to be a way to reverse it!?
and i maybe have explained it wrong. i have to pull 2.5-3mm AND at the middlejoint(0.5mm) to make the overall tuning okey.

this is a total guess, but I'll try...
perhaps your bridge key between upper and lower joints is out of adjustment. So the pad of the 3 ring key is not going all the way down and air is coming out, thus making the pitch high. or maybe the sliver (banana) key for B/F# is not sealing and air is coming out.
I am probably wrong but it's late and I can't even see your clarinet anyway.

Have you noticed any change in your reeds? With the drop in temperature and added heating it could be that your reeds have become harder. This could make a significant change on your overall pitch. Try softer reeds?
