Re: new clarinet tuning issue

How flat are we talking here? Closer to 5 cents or 20? A 64 barrel on a standard Bb clarinet is 2 mm too short so there has to be something wrong. What mouthpiece did the teacher use? I find that M series Vandoren mouthpieces tend to play flat in the throat tones. What strength reeds? I assume that you are testing it without any resonance fingerings? Are the other throat tone notes out of tune?

You can have the tone hole under the A key undercut if you need be. I had it done on my R13 when I first got it. It's one of those notes that it's better to be a little high than a little low.
