The Clarinet BBoard

An intonation question

Author: MichaelW  Date:   2015-04-09 02:49 Excuse an unprofessional question: As a boy I had violin lessons and so learned to regulate intonation with each and every tone (apart from open strings of course. Now, in my retirement, I try to play clarinet for some time already, on different mostly older instruments, and my teacher says my intonation is not bad (maybe something has remained from that early training). Now here and elsewhere I frequently see discussions on better (e.g. Yamaha) or not so good intonation of different brands. I sometimes record intonation curves of different clarinets, and I see that I can regulate intonation down to small deviations by means of minimal, partly unconscious, embouchure or breath variations. But how can I, then, judge the inherent intonation issues of an instrument?
