 Poor tuning of Marigaux
Author: Bill 
Date:   2007-01-20 17:12

A 1950s SML Marigaux clarinet, which had been a favorite for tone quality and flexibility, has been tuning very poorly for me. I'd guess the bore to be somewhere around 14.85, and I have the original barrel, but I cannot find a mouthpiece (and I have a couple) that will tune well with the clarinet. The problem seems to be that when my second (clarion) register is good, the fundamental is sharp. This modality stays in place with any adjustment. I can't get them to balance out. The instrument does not play in tune with itself.

Perhaps a problem with unlimited sources, but any immediate insights would be appreciated.

Bill.
