IF YOU DO PULL AT THE BARREL, IT DOES AFFECT YOUR THROAT TONES. IF YOUR LONG B AND C ARE SHARP, YOU SHOULD THEN PULL AT THE MIDDLE SOME, AND PUSH BACK IN SLIGHTLY AT THE BARREL TO COMPENSATE. PULLING OUT IN GENERAL IS A PAIN. IF YOU HAVE TO PULL A LOT AT THE BARREL, IT LEAVES AN OPEN SPACE IN THERE, SO YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK INTO SOME TUNING RINGS THAT WILL FIT INTO THE BREAK BETWEEN BARREL AND UPPER JOINT. IF YOU'RE VERY SHARP, ALSO, IT COULD WELL BE YOUR INSTRUMENT. I'VE NEVER HEARD THAT TOUNGE POSITION COULD ALTER PITCH ENOUGH TO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. GOOD LUCK
