Dave, I don't really disagree with you. I think I'd be inclined to return it, too, unless I could get the instrument to play in tune at the store's expense.

I'll take others' word for it that these are really good clarinets. The expense of getting it to play in tune at the time of purchase shouldn't be the buyer's. I was suggesting possible solutions. But at a couple of points in both of my posts, I questioned whether or not the great price would still be so great if Kevin had to bear the additional cost of fixing the CSG's pitch problem. Since he didn't tell us what he paid for the clarinet, we can't know if it's a steal even with the additional cost of a mouthpiece and/or a barrel or not.

To be clear I wouldn't personally spend the extra money, especially not knowing for certain what exactly is causing the flatness. But, if the store owner is willing to provide a barrel at his expense, and it solves the problem, I might still be in.

Karl
