Playing a metal clarinet

Author: bbrandha

Tonight at our local youth symphony practice, I played a metal clarinet that I just stripped, relacquered, and repadded. I have played one in parades with the horseback band, but I have no idea how in tune I was or wasn't. Tonight, though, I had a tuner. When cold, it was flat. After playing for a while, it was WAY sharp. Is this usual for a metal clarinet?

I have not done any experimenting with mouthpieces or anything. This is the first time it has been played.
