I do not at all agree with “its ok to not be in tune, if you don’t play with anyone else”.

Part of the joy of music is playing and sharing with others. Part of improvement is “hearing” your sound, tone and tonal intervals and adapting to correct.

All clarinets have out of tune notes: typical throat tones and low notes. With a tuner, can you get a middle d, a a 5th above and low c in tune(a = 440)? If so, you are in tune. Next, play a scale to find relative intonation for each note. Many clarinetist (me included) refuse Buffets due to wide individual intonation swings between instruments (for the record, I play a Yamaha CSG-II and a LeBlanc Opus II, both incredibly consistent instruments).
