Re: Clarinet mouthpieces

Right on - I always thought the pitch was directly related to the overall
length of the resonating column, rather than any subtleties in the design
of the mouthpiece (although the mouthpiece obviously has a profound effect
upon tone). How much shorter is the barrel though to achieve the pitch
increment necessary to play with 442 accordion (and who makes them?). I'm
talking Bb clarinet.
