Re: clarinet w tenon on barrel

I've often wondered why the barrel joint isn't actually lower as a matter of custom...Of course I'm no instrument designer, but one would think a more even spacing of joints would even out the tuning when pulling out a bit. Perhaps this causes other problems which then have to be solved. I suppose the other extreme are those clarinets that were made with an integrated barrel. I also saw an old Albert Eb clarinet for auction that had a telescoping section in the lower part of it with sliding mechanism connections. Even though adoption can be slow, makers and designers never stop experimenting.
