Re: Temperature And Tuning

Thanks for the replies. I’m going to try the BD5 442 pitch. I will have it tomorrow. From the “get go” on my current BD5 my E2 for instance is about 20 cents flat when I start. My issue is it’s too far out to make an adjustment without sacrificing tone. To me, on my saxophone when I say I can play it in tune it means that any imperfections in the instrument( and they are all imperfect) can be adjusted for without sacrificing tone quality. For instance if I have to lip up or adjust my throat so much that the tone sounds pinched off then I can’t play it in tune. This is my goal for the clarinet, to be able to adjust correctly on the fly. I’m trying to make this BD5 work because I love the tone. I have an older M30 Lyre and do not have this issue with it.
