last night was our first wind symphony rehearsal of the semester and my clarinet is playing very very sharp. I had to pull out so much it was ridiculous. what could be the problem and how do i fix it?
if I get a longer barrell does it matter that my clarinet is a hard rubber Lyrique? do i need to get a specific kind of barrell for that clarinet? or will any barrell that is longer due?

I recently got a Lyrique which I like alot, but I've had to abandon my Vandoren M30 mouthpiece because I play flat with it. I expect that it's due at least inpart to my inexperience, but when I asked Tom about it he said that the M30 is pitched pretty low. I can play the Ridenour mouthpiece that came with the Lyrique in tune, but it's noticably more resistant than the M30 so I have to play softer reeds and my embouchure gets easily fatigued and I leak air.

I just picked up a used pair of Ridenour Lyrique Clarinets (576B & 576A) for my daughter; (which she loves) she has a couple of Vandoren Mouthpieces, a B45 and a 5RV Lyre from her previous Buffet E-13 clarinet which she is currently using with her Ridenour clarinets. She also has an unused vintage Buffet R-13 (Chedeville) hard rubber mouthpiece that she would love to try with her Lyrique Clarinets. Unfortunately it does not fit the clarinets, the cork seams to have a slight radius, which makes it to big. My question is, if I have this mouthpiece re-corked would it fit the Lyrique Clarinets or would I have to purchase a different mouthpiece? Also, could anyone recommend a mouthpiece that would be a better match for these great clarinets, besides the Ridenour Mouthpieces? Also, does anyone know the differences between the Ridenour Lyrique 576B and 576BC Clarinets?
I thank you in advance for your comments and suggestions.

You can get the M30 model in the 442 pitch. If you like the M30, then just get the non-series 13 model. Series 13 is the designation for A440 or "American Pitch". I believe the only Vandoren mouthpiece that comes in the series 13 model only is the M13 Lyre.
