The Clarinet Lab

Intonation check form · developed by Bernd Schille

How it works

Warm up your clarinet and set your tuner to your usual reference pitch.
For each note with a problem, play it steadily at medium volume and read the tuner. Please also enter 3–4 notes that sound fine.
Enter the value in cents (minus = flat, plus = sharp) or in Hz (the frequency your tuner shows).
Twelfth (optional but very helpful): for the notes with a problem (E3 to F#4 only), play the same fingering with the register key pressed. It sounds a twelfth higher. Enter that reading in the last column. The throat notes G4 to Bb4 are not needed.
Leave all other notes empty and send the form to us by e-mail.
