Γεια σου Τσέλιγκα μόλις γράφτηκα στο σάιτ σου. Μια βασική μου απορία είναι η εξής: γιατί γράφετε κυρίως στα αγγλικά συμμετέχουν και άτομα μη Ελληνες που ασχολούνται με παραδοσιακό κλαρίνο; Αν ναι είμαι εντυπωσιασμένος!
Η άλλη τεχνική: τι νούμερο καλάμι χρησιμοποιείς; γιατι ενώ παίζω περίπου ένα χρόνο όταν παίζω με 1 δεν γίνεται να κουρδίσω με τίποτα ενώ με το 1.5 ή το 2 έρχονται οι νότες στα ίσα τους. Πιστεύεις μπορεί να φταίε το κλαρίνο μου;

tseligas , is every note going to right on the money , or some notes will differ example the low la with the middle la , then the high la, what i have fhad happen as youre going up the scale some notes are a little high pitch and others are low , now some clarinet player have told me , if the do, sol ,first la , re ,sol , second do are right on the money you are doing okay , youre opinion , example ( blow a low do the needle is in the middle , blow a re the needle is a couple degress to the right , blow a do , right in the middle , do the third sol (high) the needle is a couple of degress flat . now the question is how much varriation can you have on the tuner ?? or do all professional clarinet players blow every note on the tuner smack dab in the center (bulls eye)

hehe smack dab in the center..(:-)))))
Ok, this is a really important question here so let me analyze it in detail and in bullet points:
-A) The most critical factor in tuning is.............you the player! You need to build control for pitch, color, shape (voicing), tongue position. All these you need to maintain consistency and repeatability. Otherwise you may move your tongue back or down while you play higher notes and that introduces another variable to how the tone will come out.
So take home message: In order to tune your clarinet, or see if your clarinet is in tune you first need to make sure your voicing and tongue are consistent!
-B) Temperature!!!
Cold room ->> Flatter notes
Hot room ->> Sharper notes
-C)Warm up the clarinet
Play gently 4-5 minutes to warm it up.
-D) If A B C are satisfied then get the tuner out.
Set the Frequency to 440Hz.
-E) TUNING:
Usually when you play at a band you need to tune your clarinet with the following steps:
You need to tune multiple notes otherwise you may tune one and throw all the other off.
Here is how.
Blow an open SOL with the right hand all covered.
a)- Pull the Barrel to bring it in tune!
b)- Then go to the high SOL.
If the high SOL is sharp then pull the right hand down. (The bottom half of the clarinet.
Do not correct the high SOL with pulling the barrel otherwise you will throw other notes off.
Now that is for tuning.
-Practice single notes now:
Notice-> When you attack the note fast it may be sharper than normal. So when you test the note wait for it to settle. OR!!!! you can play the note in an exercise like the exercises of mechanism that I show in the videos. So you should play couple notes before the note that you need to tune. So the last note you sustain it and see the tuning of that!

I think I answered your question chitown..
so - tune the clarinet as I told you. The main factor will be you!
Don't blow straight notes trying to see if they are in tune. Play the note in a context. There is a difference!
Another tip is that as you go higher in the notes you do need to squeeze a little bit harder with your lips.
Make sure you listen !!! to what you are playing. And do the exercises of mechanism with a metronome and a tuner.!!! That will build you up!!!

bottom line you have to be able to tell if you are blowing sharp , so lets say a petro loukas xalkias he can tell basicly by listen to him self play and he can tell if hes off or right on the money ,(doesnt need a tuner ) so we have to tune our ear to the notes

Αν και θα ξεφύγω από το θέμα: ο εναλλακτικός δακτυλισμός για τη μεσαία Φα ποιός είναι , εννοείς χωρίς την χρήση του κλειδιού;
Έρρωσθε και ευδαιμονείτε!
Το #1 είναι πολύ ευέλικτο και θελει πολύ καλό έλεγχο χειλιών, γλώσσας και φυσήματος για να βγει κουρδισμένη η νότα. (Πόσο καιρό παίζεις;; )
