With the OP i'm curious if other mpcs have the same effect on intonation as the Behn mpc ?
Mouthpieces can make a dramatic effect on intonation.
Mr Fobes has some very nice mouthpieces and barrels. I've had a few go through my shop. I've read his articles in the past and continue to reread articles / books all the time because as one learns more it all makes more sense when things are reread.
After my experiment late last year of creating a "recorder" and making/plugging toneholes (smaller, larger, undercut, placed differently) my next adventure is taking a HP clarinet and attempting to make it low pitch ...
interestingly enough. I just finished a late 1960s R13. The entry and exit bores of the barrel to the Upper joint to the lowerjoint were not in sync and too small per other specimens. This is one of those clarinets where you have to pull out the joints to make the relative segments in-tune.
I so much wanted to correct the entry bore of the joints so see what would happen .. but not on a customers beloved 1 owner R13 .... thus the initial experiments wtih a recorder and now a HP.
