Re: Get a C clarinet as in-tune/even as a Bb!

I'm certainly not a clarinet acoustics expert, but I can't imagine how the closed cylindrical pipe of any clarinet, much less the C and Eb, could ever be modified so that every note in its range, esp. altissimo, will be in tune.

Spend a year finding alternate fingerings. It CAN be done!

(Spending a gazillion dollars to modify an instrument will help--if it doesn't cause a passle of other problems or turn the instrument into something other than a clarinet--but you're going to have to deal with tuning problems in the end anyway.)
