Re: Yamaha's and mouthpieces

Take your meter with you to test the tuning and pitch, or your phone. Phones have meters with them now. Well my I-phone does. Be concerned with the 10ths.

I'm not sure how much homework you've done. Both horns are very nice. I've played the CSG111, but not the the latest model. The CSG111 is a wonderful clarinet and it has a straight bore. The other pro models do not have straight bores.

So be careful when testing the horns, looking for dead notes or notes that don't speak well with your mouthpiece. Changing mouthpieces can surely be a plus to solve these issues. We have to remember that the mouthpieces have tapered bores. This can make such a difference in making a good clarinet sound and a fantastic horn. Of course barrels and the tapers are will change the pitch. It can get complicated.
