Re: Mouthpiece which plays sharper

Have you tried to play on a harder reed strength?

I had a similar problem of continuously playing flat, but it turned out that my mouthpiece was designed for strength 3.5 - 5, and not just a good ol' 3. For me the reed strength ended up making a significant difference in intonation.

It could be that your M30 mouthpiece was designed for a harder reed strength. Reeds are lot cheaper than buying another mouthpiece or barrel, so maybe try experimenting with that if you haven't already.

But then again, I just play the Clarinet for my own pleasure, so Im no expert
