Re: Permanent fix for 442 bass clarinet?

Nitai,

Thanks for the impressive explanation. Much excellent detail!

To summarize by comments I think there are two issues at play in my mind and they are not related.

1. When I added O rings in the middle section, the clarion notes below did not come down much (an extreme was ~10 cents). The upper portion of the instrument was fine but I sold the instrument. It was not going to get any better (bad design or manufacturing I suspect).

2. I have played several Yamaha 221s and to get them down to play and open G with the tuner at 440 I had to pull out a lot. Too much for me and the OP evidently.

The bass clarinets I now own, a Selmer Model 30 and a Ridenour 925e, are well in tune from top to bottom without the 2-piece neck being pulled very much. Sure, a couple of traditionally bad notes found on most bass clarinets must be humored enough but I am happy.

Cheers,

HRL
