Step 1
Play third space C for tuning your clarinet if you're playing with a band; the tuning note is concert B-flat. Play third line B-natural if you're tuning for orchestra, where the tuning note is Concert A 440 Hz.

Step 2
Determine if your clarinet sounds flat or sharp. You can do this by purchasing a chromatic electronic tuner, which not only provides a pitch for tuning, but it can give a visual check for the tone you produce. You could also use a piano to tune, but only use it if it's well tuned.

Step 3
Pull out the tuning barrel near the upper joint connection on your clarinet if you're sounding sharp. This can make the clarinet longer, so it might sound slightly lower.

Step 4
Push in the tuning barrel near the upper joint connection on your clarinet if you're sounding flat. This can make the clarinet shorter, giving it a slightly higher pitch.
