I didn't come in BBoard over a year ago, and I am glad to see this thread is still alive.
Well, after 3 years playing on RB Wurlitzers I can say many things.
It's true all you say about embochure. But to achieve this you need to find a reed that matchs perfectly with the mouthpiece and works also perfectly in all registers of the clarinet in all kind of situations (piano, forte, legato, stacatto, register changes). If not, probably you will do unconsciously some little changes in the embochure that definitively will affect the intonation. And it is very difficult to find the good reed. This problem is common in all kind of clarinets, but in my opinion, the changes in the intonation are much more appreciable in the RB clarinets than in french bore clarinets.
I agree with Martin about the "register hole" solution. In fact, I changed the capsule of this hole for closer one, and consequently I changed the throat Bb capsule for wider one. Despite this, Bb is still flat, but I remember the first day I played my set of Wurlitzer the Bb was flat, overall if I play a fast passage with Bb. It is because it is very difficult for me to separate completely the left thumb finger from the F note ring, so the pad goes down and tuning low (I don't know if you understand what I want say, because I don't know how to say correctly in english). In long notes I can sharp the Bb with more lip pressure.
I must say that is more problematic my Bb clarinet than A (in fact, A clarinet doesn't give me any problem, only the commented throat Bb).
I am the owner of a pair of 3WZ mouthpieces and I play much more confortable than with vienna mouthpieces (Wurlitzer W4, Alexander Wilscher or Viotto). The intonation is better and sound is powerful, not so dark as in vienna mouthpieces, and not so brilliant as a french clarinet.
Finally, I find a great improvement the new position for the register hole, because it avoids condensation problems (I have always condensation in the register hole after few minutes playing).
Regards.
P.D.: you can enjoy the Herbert Wurlitzer clarinets group that I created on Facebook.
