Re: My high B sounds the same as high c

How long have you had the clarinet for? It is a new clarinet or has the problem just started? Etude isn't exactly up there when it comes to brand names, to say the least, so the build quality is definitely going to be the first thing that would come into question.

That being said I had a similar problem on my very first clarinet when it was only a week old. It was a Yamaha YCL200AD, which we had got brand new. Of course I didn't know any better at the time as I was new to clarinet. Basically the middle-line B was playing a C. I was getting an earful from the band director until we finally figured out that it was the clarinet's problem and not mine.

Fortunately it was only a week old so we were able to send it in for warranty repairs. Meanwhile I was stuck with a loaner Selmer USA (looking back it was probably a 1400B but I didn't pay attention to those things a the time) which had the highest left hand keys I'd ever seen on a clarinet. But hey, at least they played the right notes.

I don't know anything about clarinet repair but if I were to hazard a guess I wouldn't be surprised if it was a problem with the keys if in fact you're talking about the middle line B.
