So I can play my B-flat clarinet quite in-tune with itself, although sharp, if that makes sense. So the intervals are correct, but all consistently high.
I've been looking through old posts on the forum, and things I have found to deal with sharpness are: tuning rings, different mouthpiece, longer barrel.
My biggest problem is that I have to pull out really far at the middle joint to be able to play in tune (and god forbid I am playing with a flat piano, as was the case with my concert last night).
Any good advice?
For reference, I have a Buffet R-13 clarinet which is about 15 years old (I bought it new at the time), I'm currently playing on a Vandoren M30 Profile 88 mouthpiece, and a 66mm MoBa barrel. Also note, I am not overall sharp on my A-clarinet. There are even a few notes that tend to be flat.
