I'm a beginner. I have been practicing my clarinet for two weeks now. I played the oboe in Jr and Sr high. I am 74 years old. I have a 1955 Boosey & Hawkes clarinet. I am taking private lessons. My mouthpiece is a Forbes Debut and Im using 2.5 and 3 reeds, Mitchell Laurie.The barrel that came with my clarinet is 63.60 mm millimeters, outside measured with electronic digital calipers. Most of the notes I play are flat, from 10 to 25 cents, using a pitch app on my iPhone. I have another barrel that is 62.5 mm and most notes are in tune. Note A just below middle C is spot on. From middle C up to G is also mostly in tune (as high as I can go now.) know as a beginner I am working towards being more in tune.
I thought barrels it came in even numbers, 65 mm, 66 mm. Are the barrels I have unusual?
