Re: Barrel Length

A 64mm barrel is already very short for a barrel and for an instrument that's most likely built to play at 442Hz.

So if you're playing flat, then it's most likely an embouchure problem and reed strength will be a factor too.

A shorter barrel isn't the answer - your teacher should be able to diagnose and correct any faults you are experiencing as that's what teachers are for.

What mouthpiece and reed strength are you using and how long have you been playing for and been having lessons for?
