 Re: Permanent fix for 442 bass clarinet?

I would double check your set up against other bass clarinets, especially against other 221iis if you can. As others have pointed out, you should run about 8 cents sharp if you were up at 442 and not 440. If you are a full semi-tone sharp, that's 100 cents (or at least 50 cents, if it's reading that note, but very flat.)

If you play fine on other bass clarinets, there's probably some sort of problem with the instrument. I've heard horror stories of the regular 221s playing 30-40 cents sharp in the low clarion, but my experience with the 221iis was good.

If you can't find any other instruments around to check against, see if there are any other bass clarinetists who could try your instrument to double check. If they can get it to work, then you can, too.

Have you played other bass clarinets and not had this problem?
