Re: Why is pulling out the mouthpiece taboo?

my argument is that pulling out the barrel joint or mouthpiece effects the left hand notes three times more than the right hand. the clarinet does not tune proportionate to itself. thats why tuning to concert A (third line cl. B) is insane. its a 12th above the flattest note on the clarinet! and how many times have we heard the GABC so sharp! after tuning to concert A. ive seen clarinetist play both brahms sonatas tuning to third line B and all the Bs are B-FLAT!
i'd tune to third line b-flat. tune to the bad notes(tune to any note of the tessaterra of the composition-even the key) and the good notes will take care of themselves. wheres my soap box!! as for pulling out the middle and even the bell. crazy. hey check it with the tuner please.
