Re: Playing a metal clarinet

The fact that a cold clarinet can so dramatically cool the air in the bore has always nagged at me. It seems to me that the heat transfer to the air is not great. The air moves only slowly past the walls, and most of it doesn't even touch the cool body of the clarinet, and the warm expelled air is replenished by the player.

BUT clarinets warm up and sharpen their pitch.
