Re: Measuring Clarinet lengths to establish the key of the instrument

Hi,

Yes, I looked at this chart, but I have 3 very small clarinets at 384, 390, and 400, they all have different barrel, bell and mouthpiece lengths and bores. So there are several options I can have for my clarinet length. I can mix and match.

I have only tried playing the smallest with top holes covered and it gives me a good B when I play the open clarinet fingering G so it appears to be in E natural. But as I can change this note with barrels and mouthpieces, I am looking to find a more reliable method of measurement, to establish what these clarinets are.

Unfortunately I cannot find any info about E natural or F clarinets on the internet.
