Re: Barrel on A Clarinet

The barrel for B&H Edgware should be 67mm long and have a bore of 15.0mm (parallel)
Same barrel is used by B&H for both Bb and A clarinet.
You really do need the correct B&H barrel or one of identical dimensions for clarinet to play in tune with itself at correct pitch.
When clarinet is warmed up you should normally be pulled out about 1mm to play at 440 Hz on this clarinet/barrel setup.
A Buffet barrel is incorrect for B&H clarinet.
