Re: Keeping Assembled Clarinet Intonation Play Ready

Dave- exactly what I was thinking. Perhaps a button on the side of the clarinet as you play an open G or clarion G (as part of the music) says to adjust the barrel or middle joint, respectively- instantaneously. And if it still doesn't sound right, try again next G you hit.

Actually, automatic compensation via servo motors and computer tech is what I would expect in the instruments of 50-100 years hence. Along with a bunch of other razmatazz. And bboard (or the equivalent of 2066) will be filled with the protests of the purists who eschew such crutches.

For today though, I covet click barrels. Only a matter of time before I spring for one- $90 last time I checked. Precision wins over guesswork every time. But those who love their exotic barrels can never go this route.
