Re: Metal clarinet

Thanks Jim! I have a few Albert clarinets from the late 1800s (two metal, one rubber - with the same keywork and tone hole placements as the metals) with the exact same problem you mention. Beautiful sound throughout until the F and E.

It seems that the issue gets even worse at warmer temperatures on my metal clarinets. They're about a quarter tone flat at 70 degrees on F and E, but go even FLATTER as the temperature rises. I didn't realize the Haynes had a similar issue with E and F though. Have you ever recorded the Haynes? I've never had the opportunity to hear one before.
