Subj: [kl] Barrels for Vintage Selmer Clarinet
Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2008 02:16:43 -0500

Dear fellow clarinetists....

I just recently had my Selmer Series 10 completely gone through. When
I talked with the repair guy, I told him "Do everything" and by god,
he sure did. The horn plays like an absolute dream. As a side note,
if you are in the NW and are looking for a great clarinet guy who
doesn't have a huge back log, check out Dallas Neustel. His number is
206.491.9832. Anyway, back to business.... He was telling me that I
should look at different barrels to go with my clarinet. He is fairly
new to the region and didn't know where to look, so I'm turning to
you. I play both jazz and classical, but primarily jazz. When I'm
playing jazz, I either play on a vintage Selmer D mouthpiece or a
Gregory Smith Kaspar copy, and when I'm playing legit music, I use a
Greg Smith Chedeville 1+. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance!
