Perfect intonation,
calculated first.
Eliminate pitch drifts and interval spread between registers with the world’s first simulation-guided acoustic tuning service. Powered by The Clarinet Lab physics models.
No more trial and error.
Traditional tuning
- Based on trial-and-error filing and subjective intuition.
- High risk of permanently over-chipping or ruining a tonehole chimney.
- No objective proof or mathematical predictability.
The Clarinet Lab method
- 100% mathematically simulated. Every stroke of the reamer is calculated before touching your instrument.
- Zero-risk guarantee. Based on Arthur Benade’s end-correction formulas and Dr. Adrian Greenham’s 10:7 register-spread laws.
- Tailored to you. Calibrated precisely to your mouthpiece, reed and personal playing embouchure.
From your measurement to your certificate.
- Measure at home
Fill in our online Intonation Check Form: log your pitch deviation across the 19 note positions with your tuner and send it to us.
- Mechanical audit
In our workshop we digitally measure your clarinet’s exact tonehole diameters, wall thicknesses and pad venting heights.
- 2D acoustic simulation
We run your data through The Clarinet Lab platform and create an exact 2D milling roadmap (upstream 45° vs. downstream undercutting).
- Micro-undercutting
We perform surgical undercutting and pad adjustments with sub-millimetre precision.
- Certificate & proof
You receive your tuned instrument with an official Certificate of Calibration showing your before-and-after intonation curves.
Recommended tuner: TonalEnergy
For the most accurate readings in your 19-note protocol we recommend TonalEnergy Tuner (TE Tuner). It shows exact values in Hertz and cents.
- Calibration: set A4 to your usual pitch, e.g. 442 Hz or 440 Hz.
- Display: make sure the analysis view shows exact Hz values.
- Conditions: warm up 5–10 minutes, play steadily at mf, room at approx. 20 °C (68 °F).

Service eligibility & prerequisites
To guarantee 100% mathematical predictability and zero-risk results, Precision Intonation Calibration is exclusively available for clarinets in original factory condition. Instruments with prior aftermarket tonehole undercutting, reaming or custom alterations cannot be accepted, as compromised baseline geometries invalidate the acoustic simulation models.
Choose your level.
Every package starts with your measurements from the Intonation Check Form.
Acoustic Intonation Audit
Full digital intake evaluation, Benade acoustic report and custom tuning roadmap.
- Digital intake evaluation
- Benade acoustic report
- Custom tuning roadmap
Targeted Intonation Tuning
Audit plus targeted micro-undercutting for 3–5 critical problem toneholes (e.g. C#4/G#5 or F3/C5 twelfths).
- Everything in the Audit
- Micro-undercutting of 3–5 toneholes
- Focus on critical twelfths
Full Precision Calibration
Complete 19-tonehole measurement, full 2D acoustic re-design, precision undercutting of all chimneys, pad venting calibration and printed Certificate of Calibration.
- All 19 toneholes measured
- Full 2D acoustic re-design
- Undercutting of all chimneys
