Am I sharp, or is it the clarinet? I gotta pull out my barrel about the thickness of a penny and my middle joint(where low C is) about the thickness of two pennies. Am I sharp, or is the clarinet tuned wrong?? I use the Vandoren profile 88, M13(which is tuned to A=440) and a V12 #5 (no, the reed's not hard, it feels and sounds fine) and my clarinet is a R13 Vintage (which is also tuned to A=440). My teacher has the same set up( well, almost, she uses an R13 and a M15 mouthpiece)Why do I have to pullout and my teacher doesn't??Am I playing the clarinet wrong???

By the way in a couple of hours is my graduation!!!!! (from 8th grade, but I'm still excited) wish me luck Cause I think I'm gonna trip!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
