From: b1rite@-----. Rite) Subj: [kl] To Walter Grabner (was: Bass clarinet barrel) Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2003 12:44:27 -0500
Walter, couldn't you could make me a "barrel blank" fairly easily, in
which the bore is oversized for a Bb clarinet, and simply a straight
cylinder (inside and out) with no polishing (inside or out), and no
rings on the sockets?
Then I could line the interior with putty, mount it on a drill motor,
and shape the interior in the same way that a clay sculptor works with
clay, including even with my fingers.
It could be Delrin as easily as grenadilla.
I already have accurate tenon measurements for my instrument, which I
can email you.
Thank you,
Bill
