Re: Amati C Clarinet

I just purchased an Amati C clarinet and so I've only tested it out over the past two days. I've been playing Christmas carols with my husband who plays piano, and I noticed some intonation problems so I did a little checking with my electronic tuner.

The middle B (all fingers down) is flat -- extremely flat. Other than that the instrument plays uniformly sharp, but if I pull out the barrel it's fine.

But still, I'm concerned about the middle B. I read where someone had a custom barrel made, which helped with the intonation, but I'm not sure if that would help me since it is just the one note that is out.

Just to make sure it wasn't me, I checked my intonation on my Buffet standard Bb clarinet and it is fine. Any advice? I think I have 30 days to return this if I don't like it.
