Re: 440Hz mouthpiece on 442Hz tuning

Hello, thank you for the complete answer!!! The "we" is just a rhetorical expression to include me and readers.. To be more specific, I play with a Buffet festival Bb clarinet and I'm interested to try the Backun CG Vocalise which there isn't a 442Hz model of It.. So, from now I'm thinking, what I should do If I like It much, I want to use It exclusively and the overall pitch goes to 440Hz?? I know one of my teacher's students who bought a Backun bell and barrel to use(just for sound upgrade) on his Buffet RC clarinet and he thought that he had better sound by using these, but sometime on a recording, teacher noticed the sound on low notes A-G-F-E wasn't that good(homogeneous).. so, he told him to start using the stock clarinet's barrel and bell, when he did, the sound became much better, that's why I ask what to use for only changing the overall pitch and not the sound... I'm either thinking to get an adjustable barrel or a same stock Buffet 64mm or 63mm barrel..
