Hi, so I have a Festival and Tosca and they both play in tune (442hz) with a vandoren DB5 and a 65mm barrel.
The problem is when I try to tune it to 440hz, the 66mm is too sharp. Using a Korg tuner i Found that I need a 68 mm Barrel to be in tune (I have a Moennig 68mm and a Backun 68.5mm).
So more than a question this is an observation, it seems that standard Vandoren Mouthpieces are tunned to 442hz and they need an extra long barrel to be in tune with 440hz. Is this always the case or is only my problem?
