Re: Selmer Series 9 Intonation Issues

I have played Series 9 clarinet without that many intonation issues. Quite common is that right hand chalumeau a and b raise in pitch when playing soft. This is due to the wider bore design in combination with very large tone holes.
When playing louder, the Series 9 should be reasonably well in tune. In my case I never used a '13 series' mouthpiece, the standard Vandorens worked best.

My suggestion is that the barrel is not good. Btw. even an original barrel could not be optimal.
