Hello Cally. Just to clarify concepts. 440 and 442 refers to hertz which are beats per second. A Cent is a measure of 1/100 of a semitone. 😊
Great videos btw. I am a fan! 😊
Awesome, thanks for adding this!
Great video. I have been playing flat for 10 years, and this finally helped me :)
Can confirm the light reed issue. I noticed I was playing consistently flat, and didn't know why. So I got shorter barrels which seemed to solve the issue. A friend suggested i try a harder reed. I was floored when this solved the problem! I could probably even go slightly higher up in strength, but the next level up is too hard.
Hello Cally, particularly for old instruments, periodic oiling the wood (bore) with a good wood oil made for woodwind instruments is important to keep the wood healthy and in specification. During the oiling, pads need to be protected.
Great tips, Cally for beginners and even as a refresh for more experienced players too.
Thanks Sarah!
Thank you for all these ideas, gives great food for thought and things to try!
Great tips Cally!
Thanks!
You’re welcome! And thank you!!
Hi Cally
Very fine video. As a retired operasinger I might have tongue isues when playing the clarinet.
You use this adjustable barrel. Can you tell where you got it. I've found some at Thomann in Germany. But they seem to have been made for Buffet clarinets. I have a Yamaha 650. It's nice, but the barrel is 65mm and it is a little flat. So I thought of buying an adjustable barrel 63'ish mm to kompensate.
Pls help.
Hi Cally, is it possible that a clarinet itself can be out of tune? When I play my R13, I'm consistently 30 cent flat in the low to mid register. On my friend's R13 I am in tune. I am using a 64mm barrel and strength 4 legeres. Thanks!
absolutely. the wood can change over time
Light reed is a thing. I think it is easier to squeak on a softer reed also.
I have had good results with an adjustable barrel.
I am an older dude, and my breath support and breath control changes over the course of a 2 hour concert or rehearsal. I need to adjust more often and neither a reed change nor my embursher is sufficient. I add an adjustable barrel. I usually get sharper as the night wears on.
BTW: I play a Pedler (now Selmer) made in Elkhart Indiana in about 1910. My tone has a richness not found in a new(er) instrument. I don't subscribe to the "blown out" theory.
Hi Cally, very nice video again~ One question about mouth-piece pitch, I used to use B45 (traditional) until I realized there's 13 lyre series, which is what I use now (B40 -13); I used to wonder why I was always sharp, and had to pull out so much.
Aren't all orchestras tune to 440? Why would traditional be tuned to 442? I am very confused
P.S. after switching to my new R13 three weeks ago (from Yamaha 250, been using it since 2010,) my intonation is so so much better, I feel so rejuvenated 🥰
Many ensembles in the United States tune to 440, some to 441, others to 442 (depends on the ensemble). It is my understanding that many European orchestras tune to 442.
That’s great!
@@callyclarinet really....I'm so ignorant then....In Hong Kong (British legacy), it's 440...
