Re: How far is too far to pull out?

Imagine you are writing with a pencil. If you are able to write what you want and don't have some pain from it, it doesn't matter how you hold it. Same with a clarinet/barrel/mouthpiece. As long as there is no intonation issue or a wobbly joint, it doesn't matter how much the barrel is pulled out. Do you problems like these? You didn't mention any.

You also didn't mention if the previous mouthpiece was in tune before or after warming up, to compare more directly with the new one. This is important because usually you would need a setup that allows playing in tune with varying warming up times.

You can always get a longer barrel or a different mouthpiece but it depends if there's a reason to do that.
