Barrel diameters...

Hello,

Have clarinet barrel sockets ever varied in diameter?

I ask because I recently decided to take the papers that shimmed some of the tenon rings on the clarinet that I restored last year off, and try to humidify them back to their original dimensions, having read how to do this on this board.

It worked, but now my mouthpiece wobbles in the barrel. This is annoying and likely bad as far as sound goes too. Everything else is fine.

So is this a normal outcome and, regardless, is there a mouthpiece that will fit the barrel? I have no way of measuring the diameter, so cannot provide any figures.

Thanks,

Margaret
