 Re: why do clrinetists avoid boosey hawkes?

I do find the lower register on CTs to be on the sharp side, though not so much with the Series 9 (that's using the stock 67mm barrels for each instrument). Shame I shortened my M15 mouthpiece for use with my Series 9s as the set of Series 9*s I've got have short barrels (short for my liking as I prefer 67 or 68mm barrels), but I can get another M15 easier than sourcing a 67mm Series 9* barrel.

I've often found with B&H clarinets - the 'lower' models (Regent through to Imperial 926) are best in tune with themselves when the barrel (the 67mm one) is pulled out by 2mm, otherwise the throat notes are painfully sharp. The 'SHORT' barrel (probably around 62mm) is far too short to be of any use for me, and really throws the intonation out the window.

I read somewhere on Peter Eaton's site his clarinets are designed to be in tune with themselves with the barrel pulled out by 1mm.
