Chris,

http://www.clarkwfobes.com/Tuning%20article/Tuning%20the%20Clarinet%20for%20PS.htm

This is the article that I've referenced when I've done this kind of work with clarinets (A must read IMO). Undercutting has the ability to raise the lower register to a relative greater pitch than the 12th, thus bringing the 12th closer together. It is done fairly commonly on the lower register F on Buffet R13s which is commonly flat compared to it's 12th (C). It naturally has an effect on tone color which can be a good thing...or bad. I have a Prestige that used to be my main Bb that I never had to adjust. As long as I'm practicing enough I can overcome a lot of tuning issues. This is why I'm going to do quite a bit of practicing before I do any of this work and create the pitch chart with a my friend who is a very good player. I just want the horn to be reasonable as far as it's tuning issues. I think this can be pretty 'hairy work' and as you know, good tone trumps good tuning if one has to choosen over the other. In other words, I'm going to do this work with great care and by small degrees.

Regarding the narrowing of the upper bore: is this a modern feature or is it traditionally used?

Thank you for the reed advice as well. I obviously have a lot to learn.

John
