I am currently auditioning the CL4 and find the pitch to be the VERY thing we all need.

I don't know why we've gone so far down the "dark sound" road that we don't realize how screwed up our 12ths are because of it. Just because the needle on the Korg reads "0" on a clarion high C, doesn't mean your clarinet is in tune !!!!! really, it doesn't.

In fact I am surprising MYSELF at just how much this mouthpiece is making a difference to my playing. I had been playing a Gennusa G** for a year or so solely because the response was better than others in my drawer when my Greg Smith was accidentally smitten from the Earth.

The Gennusa is like many many custom mouthpieces these days along with the Vandoren 13 Series that generates a lower tone (actual generated pitch mind you) to achieve a 'darker sound.' The problem is that your throat "F" will be flat at any moderate volume, your second ledger "C" will be flat in context, your altissimo "Eb" and "F" will need a lot of biting and venting. ALL of which is cleared up with the CL4 !!!! And by the way the CL4 also responds wonderfully, sounding like the B40 but doing it with the longer lay.

Ok, you may need a 67 mm barrel (as we ALL used in the 70s) but all the internal pitch nightmares will disappear !!!!!
