No. Your decimal place is wrong. It's .009" for the Bb: .586" top and .577"
bottom. The A is .5825" and .577" bottom. These measurements were taken off
brand new Buffet Moening barrels.

By the way, you are better off using the 66mm Bb Moening on your A, too.
Resize the A, Ab and top finger holes to correct for flatness. Your left
hand twelfths will be better. Your A clarinet will blow more freely and
have a clearer, less stuffy tone. Your barrel will be up to temperature
whenever you switch clarinets. And, you won't accidently move your reed
since you don't have to touch your MP when switching.
