Re: Intonation Question

The E and F tend to be flatter than the D and C below them, but this can be exaggerated if the pads above the F/C and E/B holes are too high. Obviously, if you lower the pads too much they will make the G/D fuzzy in tone quality, but if set too open the D will be sharper than need be.
I have actually played clarinets where this problem was not an issue and the lower joint upper register had good intonation, but then found this was at the expense of the lower register tuning (with r/hand B/A being very sharp).
