Re: Backun Q Series throat Bb

i had the same problem.
only my throat Bb dropped significantly on my tuner (probably 30-40 cents).
the A clarinet was worse than the Bb.

tonight, i took off the speaker keys and cleaned the tonehole.
although they were not noticeably occluded, i removed alot of schmutz.

this solved the problem on the A clarinet.
the B clarinet improved about 70%. i might have to clean it out more thoroughly again or play with the adjustment screw.

i was amazed at how much the intonation was affected by a small amt of debris.

hope this helps.

p.s. i don't own Bakun clarinets.
