Subj: [kl] Better Barrel for Leblanc A clarinet???
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 1998 23:20:07 -0400

I recently purchased a new Leblanc 1199-A A clarinet w/ low Eb.
I am requesting private emails with suggestions on a barrel(s) that may
improve this instrument's sound. The stock barrel is okay, but produces
a woody, hollow/dry sound. I am looking for a barrel that will warm up
the color a bit. Any suggestions? Also, are there specifics to remember
when looking for a barrel for your A clarinet as opposed to a Bb???
I hope that made sense...
