Re: Have Modern Clarinets Really Improved?

Blanket statements about the tuning accuracy of modern versus vintage instruments don't take into account the many vagaries of mouthpiece selection and their effects upon intonation. To wit, I have about a dozen mouthpieces in my studio, and it won't take much testing to find one that will yield faulty intonation with any given clarinet.

Your '58 Centered Tone has undoubtedly gone through multiple overhauls in its 63-year lifespan, and possibly tone hole modifications as well. It might be a better clarinet now than it was when it left the Selmer workshop.

In any event, it would seem that you've got yourself one of the "good ones". Play and enjoy!
