I'm really liking the CWF so far and I may have to negotiate that trade with my teacher. It plays sharper than my Vandoren M13 (series 13), which is nice because (with a 64mm Chadash barrel), I can _finally_ hit A440 on my A clarinet without tons of effort and warmup time! (I'm usually quite flat on my A unless we're playing in a toasty nursing home-type setting; even after lots of warm-up time, I may not come up to A440 at room temperature).

Interestingly enough, it doesn't sharpen my Bb clarinet to extremes like I thought it would since my A clarinet comes up so much (10c-20c). I use the same barrel on both (with a tuning ring for the Bb), and can tune it just fine with some pulling out and lipping down.

I'd like to learn more about the asymmetry. Is there any more to say about it than has been said in your above post Clark?
