It might just spontaneously combust. It was somewhat stable being all European until you added that Yamaha barrel =-p

Asain - i have the same problem with my clarinets. I have many mpcs and some of them fit and other don't. Except with mine, the mpc tenon doesn't fit into the barrel (cork doesn't matter). Apparently until the mid 80's ? the mpc makers used different sized mpc tenons - at least that's what i was told.

I could correct the problem, but I have more than enough mpcs to use and rather keep them original.

Also, welcome to the world of G.A.S. - basically Gear Acquisition Syndrome. Anytime you get a new instrument there's always some sort of additional mpc / barrel mix & matching that goes on to fit what you want.

I'm currently in that stage - except I bought myself 5 new (used) clarinets (2 Leblancs, 2 Selmer and 1 SML) - talk about confusion.
