Re: Clark Fobes is amazing!

After three days of auditioning two of Clarks 65mm A barrels, I must report that they did not significantly improve the performance of my Buffet R13. Both played the same and the basic tuning to A-440 was "right on", but 12ths remained pretty much the same as with my stock barrels with only a one or two cent reduction at best (by my Seiko meter). They had no effect on my "problem" notes, A4, B4 & C5 which are quite sharp compared to those on my R13 Bb. The barrels did "darken" the tambre of my instrument, but also seemed to restrict it's flexability by adding more resistance than I like. FYI, I used my Bay "Ithica" custom and Gregory Smith "Cicero" mouthpieces with V12 & Rico Select reeds for this trial period. And just because they didn't work for me should not infer that they would not be good for you. Just reporting my own experiance.......

I am in the process of aquiring one of Clarks Eb extensions and am looking forward to trying it out on my Yamaha 681.
