Hi all, and thanks to all above for your advice.
GDK, Using 4th line D as a reference, E is flattest, F is flat but not too bad, G is right on the money, and A, B, and C are actually just a bit sharp. Again, I have done this numerous times always trying to maintain a steady embouchure.
Jeff and Ed, the 12ths below are NOT different with respect to the tuner...no noticeable variation at all (I played these a bunch of times, too).
Bob, here's the deal on my being so picky and possibly talking about nothing of consequence in the real world:
My teacher has been working with me for weeks now trying to get a better sound from me, and just this past week I was able to actually please him (a better reed did help, but hard work was the real deal for me I believe).
At any rate, he is now teaching me that there are variations in certain notes on the instrument, and that I should, again, as some of you say, learn to lip up/down as the case may be. I only offered the original example (D and E) as examples because those 2 notes seem to offer the largest difference between adjacent intervals that I could find in the lower 2 registers (not yet trying the altissimo register, at least for this thpe of thing), so I wondered if that was just a fluke with my particular set-up, or were these 2 notes typical for being so far apart in variation on the tuner.
I am certainly not that "sophisticated" yet to worry about such things, other than just to be educated that they exist and possibly how to correct them.
I thank all of you for your kind advice. A few weeks back I was about ready to give up on the clarinet, but since finding this teacher, I am, once again, very gung ho and practice diligently.
Your BB has really helped me...probably as much as a private teacher in many respects, for I get different opinions that I can try...some work, and some don't.
