Eflat Piccolo Clarinet Question

Author: fromsfca
Date: 2016-06-26 19:13

I play an older Leblanc LL model and play clarinet professionally, along with other reeds.

The horn plays fine and I can play with excellent intonation up to high E. As I go above E to F, F# and G, the intonation goes a qtr to a half tone flat.

I'm playing West Side Story reed 2; the clarinet book with the piccolo regularly played up to high G.

My setup is a backun 41.5 barrel, a McClune mouthpiece and a 3.5 Alexander reed.

I get excellent response and tone; but those three high notes are too flat.

I've been considering trying a different horn (perhaps a Buffet?), to see if that doesn't help...as flat as those notes are, I am unable to get them up to tune.

Any other thoughts? Perhaps a different barrel? A Fobes extension? Other recommendations?
