Tyler,

They are not flat for me. They are flat. If you own a Ridenour clarinet and apply a neutral playing technique they are flat for you too.

As I said, Tom Ridenour cannot defy the laws of physics. He can only move around the 12ths, not eliminate them.

Sound sample of the Libertas and discussion here:

Yes, I know. I can only speculate why there is a difference between his instruments and Leblanc's. Leblanc might have had a bigger focus on intonation than Ridenour has when he is on his own.
