I have a Bb and A set each of Yamaha CSVR and SEVR clarinets. The CSVR set and the SEVR Bb have good intonation. However, low E and low F on the SEVR "A" clarinet are very flat. I have tried the SEVR Bb bell on the SEVR "A" clarinet and it does nothing to raise the pitch whatsoever.
I do not want to invest the time, trouble, or money to add a low-F correction mechanism to the SEVR "A" clarinet in question. What other options might be available to me?
I understand that the Uebel Superior model clarinet has a hole on the bell to help raise the pitch of low E and low F. Is drilling a hole on my SEVR "A" clarinet bell a viable option? (Note: I would not attempt to do this myself. I would consult a knowledgeable and experienced repair technician, such as a regional master.) And if so, how would one determine the accurate size and location of the hole in terms of maximum effectiveness and minimum unintended consequences?
Thank you for any information about tried and tested corrective strategies.
