Hi Guys & Gals......

I'm a new member of the list. Former professional, now happy amateur.

Recently, I have been switching mp/barrel combination from Bb to A and have
been very satisfied with the results. This was ONLY after a long search and
trial period to find a barrel that would respond well AND tune well on both
of my horns.

I find switching clarinets much easier, with less "warm-up" needed on the
cold horn. I also feel that my sound is more consistent, since the
"mouthpiece-ligature-reed-barrel" combination is the same.
