Precision Intonation Calibration

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.

Recommended Tuner App: TonalEnergy Tuner (TE Tuner)For the most accurate and reliable pitch measurements when completing your 19-note intonation protocol, we highly recommend using TonalEnergy Tuner (TE Tuner).TE Tuner is the gold standard for musicians and woodwind specialists. It provides high-precision frequency readouts in Hertz (Hz) and Cents, making it effortless to record the exact pitch of each tonehole under stable playing conditions.🛠️ Quick Setup for Your Measurement:

  1. Calibration: Set your target pitch ($A_4$) to your standard tuning pitch (e.g., 442 Hz or 440 Hz).

  2. Display: Ensure the pitch analysis view shows exact Hertz (Hz) values.

  3. Playing Conditions: Warm up your clarinet for 5–10 minutes beforehand and play at a steady, comfortable volume ($mf$) in a room at approx. $20^\circ\text{C}$ ($68^\circ\text{F}$).

The Problem vs. The Innovation

Traditional Tuning (The Old Way):

❌ 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 (The Innovation):

✅ 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.

How It Works

  1. Measure at Home: Download our interactive PDF form, log your pitch variance across all 19 note positions with your standard tuner, and email it to us.
  2. Mechanical Audit: In our workshop, we digitally measure your clarinet’s exact tonehole diameters, wall thicknesses, and pad venting heights.
  3. 2D Acoustic Simulation: We run your data through The Clarinet Lab platform, creating a exact 2D visual milling roadmap (Upstream 45° vs. Downstream undercutting).
  4. Micro-Undercutting: We perform surgical undercutting and pad adjustments with sub-millimeter precision.
  5. Certificate & Proof: You receive your tuned instrument along with an official Certificate of Calibration showing your before-and-after intonation curves.

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 that have undergone prior aftermarket tonehole undercutting, reaming, or custom alterations cannot be accepted, as compromised baseline geometries invalidate the acoustic simulation models.

Service Packages & Pricing

Full digital intake evaluation, Benade acoustic report, and custom tuning roadmap.

Audit + targeted micro-undercutting for 3–5 critical problem toneholes (e.g. C#4/G#5 or F3/C5 twelfths).

Complete 19-tonehole mechanical measurement, full 2D acoustic re-design, precision undercutting of all chimneys, pad venting calibration, and printed Certificate of Calibration.
