Subj: [kl] My Eb extension and barrels - Klafest
Date: Fri, 23 May 2008 10:16:12 -0400

I have been a bit inundated with questions about my Eb extension and
barrels.

Here are the standard tenon dimensions:

Eb extension - socket = .9150" or 22.30mm
Eb barrel tenon socket = .820" or 20.83mm

I make the Eb barrels in these lengths: 41mm, 41.5, 42, 42.5, 43

I only use either African Blackwood or Cocobolo for my barrels and
extensions. I am quite low on the Cocobolo products right now and it will be
about 6 months before I can offer them again.

I also make a fantastic Eb clarinet mouthpiece (IMHO)- one facing

I will not be attending the Klafest this year or the University of Oklahoma
conference. I am almost always playing with the SF Opera during the month of
June and this year I will be working right up to July 2nd which with all of
my other work won't allow sufficient time to prepare for the conference.

I do not sell directly, but most of my dealers can get any of my products.
WW&BW has done a great job of distributing my products, but for some reason
they do not carry my extension. MUNCY WINDS is very good about keeping all
of my products in stock and they will have me drop ship products that they
don't have. FRED WEINER is also very good about keeping my barrels and
extensions in stock WRIGHT MUSIC in Port Washington, NY has done a lot of
work with the musicians of NYC. HOWARTH of LONDON is currently my most
consistent European distributor.
