Tuning note on your "A" clarinet?? Maybe you got your lower joints (A & Bb) mixed up. Otherwise, a newer--and perhaps more resilient--reed may raise your general pitch level that much. Also the inadvertant use of a shorter barrell could be the gremlin here. And, of course, the Michigan "cooler" climate......but being from Wisconsin on the other side of the Lake, I usually experiance a general lowering of my clarinet pitch levels during winter and have shorter barrels for accommodation. It's strange that your clarinet would suddenly leap upward by 40 cents. When you finally discover what caused this to happen, I for one would like to know.

BTW, does "H" (as he was known here at UW-Madison) still conduct the wind ensemble? Assumming, of course, you mean't the "Michigan" at Ann Arbor..........
