RE: Question about A clarinet

charles:

"The Literature" has much to say about this, a lot of which may be confusing. For that matter, changes in bore size near the top end of the Clarinet can make an enormous difference in several playing characteristics. However, David Pino relates in his book that he was fortunate enough to discover --purely by accident -- a single mouthpiece/barrel combination that performed marvelously, good intonation and all, on each of his primary instruments, Bb and A.

I strongly suggest not holding your breath while waiting to duplicate that feat.

Regards and good luck,
John
