I think maybe you misunderstand the point of the Clik barrel. Dialing a
click in or out is no different than pulling out or pushing in the barrel
to tune. But the way that particular barrel is designed, it comes closer
to preserving the inner diameter of the bore. You still need your tuner or
your ear to determine how to adjust it. The Clik barrel does provide a
greater ability to tune in the sharp direction than your standard barrel,
though.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
