Re: Mpc for small bore clarinet

Hi m1964,

I'm quite sure it's the barrel length. On the Selmer Recital which is 0.565 they provide two barrels 1) 64.5mm and 2) 62.5mm.

If cutting yours down from 65mm to 63.5mm brought your tuning up about 20c, I suspect going from 66 to 64 should, according to my math, bring up the tuning to around 27c. Actually, going all the way down to 63.0mm would bring the tuning up 40.0c, again according to my calculations. Then a 442 mouthpiece might not be necessary.

I'll be in contact with Nathan Beaty today. I feel confident that we'll work this out.

Thanks for your input. Much appreciated.

My thanks to all who have contributed so far.
