I pull the bell, slightly. Not for tuning, but because the slight gap seems to improve the sound ... might act kinda like the voicing groove found in some bells?
Yeah, the low E is a couple of cents sharp on mine as an average. This depends on reed, MP, temperature, how much you have warmed up and what range of instrument played on, what you had for breakfast, space weather, low flying crows ...
Clarinets don't play in tune ... clarinetists do!
And BTW, on my previous post, I was referring to tuning in the altissimo range, not the top of the chalumeau (throat) range. My throat tones on the Libertas are just fine ...
I have a local music store bringing in an Alpha for me to try again for an extended test ... could be one to add to collection, especially considering the street price of less than 700 bucks. I'll sit down with my old Korg tuner and just see how they tune ...
