Subj: Re: [kl] Followup to the frozen barrel non-saga

Wouldn't it be better to put the sandpaper (non-grain to the
clarinet) on the tenon of the clarinet (VERY fine grain) and
then the barrel on top of the grain side of the sandpaper, like
it usually goes, then using VERY small strokes to sand the
inside of the barrel? After all, it is the clarinet that has to
fit back in there, right? This should give you a very PERSONAL
but round fit. After the barrel is sanded out a little, if it
has a slight wobble when put together with the tenon on the
clarinet, the cork on the tenon can be replaced with a new cork
for stability.
