Re: Higher resistance improves overtime?

Thanks again for all the feedback. I am returning the CSG2 with intonation issues while keeping the CSG2H with slight higher resistance (and slight less resonance) but much less tuning issue. Again, both are mechanically sound.

I have tried soft and hard reeds and switch joints, barrels, bells. The combinations that sounds the best to my ear (with least resistance too) is still with top and bottom joints of the CSG2, which unfortunately will be returned.

Like Karl said, I am trying to avoid hassles to customize/alter a brand new clarinet which should come (mostly) in tune, especially for a high end Yamaha. The needed change applied to the tone holes to correct the intonation may potentially change the resistance/tone as well. The resistance/tone difference between these two is so minor that probably not perceivable to the most listeners and even some players. Not to mention wood will move and change (and I probably will) so what's marginally better (lower resistance and better resonance) to me right now may not be the same in two years after it gets more playing and I get used to the new clarinet.

Once again I appreciate all the feedback.
