Re: tuning chalumeau

Hello again,
I made some research and I realised that "chalumeau" I bought is probably a modification of a "small clarinet in C" by Moeck (no longer in production). But...
As I found about the mouthpiece for that Moeck small clarinet:
"Determined by childrens' lip muscles and taking into account the change to second teeth, the pressure from the mouth had to be calculated in such a way that good intonation could be maintained. This was achieved by modifying the chamber, the table and the thickness of the reed as well as lengthening the mouthpiece so that normal Vandoren Bb clarinet reeds (German cut) with 1.5 and 2 thicknesses could be used. "
And my "chalumeau" came with the common Eb-clarinet mouthiece... so now I am almost sure that the problem is in the mouthpiece.
I wrote to the manufacturer, lets see what he will respond...

Best,
Bartosz
