Dear Mr Fay,

I think you should try the Chadash Barrel as well, and I think it will help a
lot of things on your instruments. The barrel is a very important piece of the
clarinet, It will help as you know the tunning and tone of the instrument. If
you take a barrel with a larger section than the entry cone of the bore of the
clarinet it will make the low register flat and raise certain notes of the
upper register. If you have the oposite situation wich is a smaller section
than the entry cone of the bore of the clarinet it will make the low register
higher and flatter some notes on the upper register. The B natural shouldn't
be to much affected.

I am good friend with Guy and I will call him to have more information for
you.

Musically Yours
