In the murky world of determining an antique clarinet's diapason (A430, A435, etc) is length of the instrument any sort of indication of its possible diapason?
Specifically I am thinking of an 1860 boxwood Lecomte 13-key clarinet of 20 inches (without mouthpiece).
Many sellers don't know the diapason (let alone the key) of the clarinet they are selling. In such a situation, is the length helpful in determining characteristics of the instrument such as its key and possibly diapason?
