 Bore/Tone Hole Adjustment
Author: Fred 
Date:   2002-10-17 02:51

I've got one clarinet that just doesn't tune or sing the way I believe it could. There is very little, if any, undercutting on the tone holes. The work that might be needed to make this a great clarinet goes beyond an overhaul and into the realm of wood modifications. Does anyone have any recommendations for technicians that make bore or tone hole adjustments?

I don't wanna spin off topic, but in a related topic, what is bore/tone hole undercutting or adjustments or whatever? I hear so much about it and wonder what it is? Please email the answer to sfalexi@aol.com in order not to clog up this post with a spinoff topic.

sfalexi -

The off-topic postings Mark objected to had nothing to do with the clarinet. Your question is definitely on-topic.

For more than you every wanted to know about tone hole undercutting, read http://www.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=40375&t=40375.

Best regards.

Dear Ken,
Thanks for the link to your previous posting. I found it really interesting, like many of your other postings. How do you know all this stuff??!

Best regards,
Robert

It's easy. Play the clarinet for 45 years, read everything you can find about it and ask a million questions to everybody who knows anything.

Best regards.
