 Re: Help me play my Lyrique Libertas (troubleshoot me please!)

I have watched the progression of this whole discussion with interest. Ridenour clarinets are known for many good things, with great intonation being a strong point.

My own Ridenour clarinets have tuned well with my Vandoren 2RV's and later 5RV lyre. The latter is very commonly used and praised, though it's not for everybody. And not every mouthpiece works with every clarinet either, so I'd suggest trying some alternatives. I also think your embouchure experimentation is good. Tom tells the story in one of his videos of a "pro" trying one of his clarinets and it playing horribly out of tune for him. Turned out this guy had played his whole career on a clarinet with terrible intonation, but had learned to compensate for it. And then those same adjustments made Tom's good clarinet sound out of tune. And the guy went back to his old horn.

And of course, it is possible you're playing it just fine and there is some mechanical issue with your particular clarinet. Let us know how it all works out. Good luck!
