>Now I must
have a solution to this problem as my clarinet has been diagnosed with
the malady, to the tune of over 4 thousandths and I was told the barrel
had changed shape with the crud and is now egg shaped.

The good repairpeople have reamers for clarinet bores so they can be put back to spec; I've seen Francois Kloc's, so I know that they exist. Since you say there's a buildup I'm assuming the bore is smaller than it should be.

The barrel could also be reamed or replaced; barrels are not that expensive an item.

Cheers,
Mark C.
