Re: Sharp Bb

There is some information specifically about mouthpieces for 926s in this thread http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=323261&t=323261 some of which is conflicting. My own experience is that a standard modern French bore mouthpiece (e.g. vandoren) gives unacceptably sharp throat notes on a 926.

If you've discounted a mouthpiece mismatch then there are more questions. Is it just Bb that is sharp or is throat A sharp as well? Is the side-key throat Bb fingering also sharp? Less sharp or more sharp? This information might help you narrow down the keys / holes that are the problem.
