Hi all,
I greatly appreciate the advice! I apologize for not being clear, the B and C I am referring to are one ledger line above the staff.
My R13 is a very beautiful horn that was made in 2005. I purchased it in 2013, but it had never been played before. The instrument didn't have this problem when I bought it. At that time, I was playing on a relatively new M13 lyre profile 88 with the stock 66 millimeter barrel.
The problem began when I came back to school this semester. I switched mouthpieces to a B40 lyre profile 88, but it didn't fix the issue. I switched to a shorter barrel, a moennig 65 millimeter, that corrected the pitch on the twelveths below, but not the b and c.
I asked a colleague of mine to try my clarinet, without prefacing any intonation issues, and all he said was that he liked it even better than his tosca!
Needless to say, this is driving me crazy. Could it be an issue with my voicing? If so, why am I not flat when I go higher into the altissimo? I ordered a D'addario reserve mouthpiece this morning to see if it will correct the pitch.
