>> Without a physics background, my guess is that the wave form on the higher octaves is more dependent on the length of the tube since the wave is already compressed (or folded?).>>

If you don't have a physics background, why do you hold forth on physics?

>> My trials with the Boosey mouthpiece and Wurlitzer mouthpiece were quite telling. The Boosey 1010 mouthpiece is cyllindrical (being .6 inches in dia pretty much up to the tone chamber). I would have thought this mouthpiece would play the LOWEST in the altissimo due to the volume, and yet the altissimo was SHARP!!!>>

There are reasons for this; but you do need some understanding of the physics involved.

>> The only variable that explains this is the fact that it is a short length mouthpiece, though the total volume is greater than any other mouthpiece by far.>>

Not so.

>> I further assume that the aspect of the volume makes its impact upon the fundamental notes. At any rate the Boosey and Hawkes 1010 clarinet is built to be played exclusively with these mouthpiece. I wonder what kind of odd tuning one gets with a 'standard' mouthpiece bored out to these specs since that does not address length.>>

The truth is, Paul, that you very often jump into a thread with very little understanding of the issues.

I'm sure you're a very nice guy.

But something – I don't know what – should be done about your dominating threads with nonsense.
