Re: tuning the clarinet

Paul,

What I mean is that the 'G' is easy to lip up or down. So an inexperienced player, or one who just hasn't warmed up yet (themselves as well as the instrument) may get a false sense of security from this note. I remember being taught to tune to long notes for this reason. Though as we've discussed, this has its own issues.

Interesting what you say about 'F' (written). I have found that in a wind & brass ensemble, the 'F' (actually, top line clarion 'F') is frequently quite wacky in the brass section (don't know why), so it makes sense to tune it across the ensemble.
