Moennig A Barrel vs. Bb Barrel

Author: ClarinetLA

I recently purchased a new Moennig 67 barrel for my Buffet R13 Bb clarinet. However, upon closer inspection at home, the barrel reads "R13 A 670." While trying them at the store, it did not occur to me that the "A" meant that it was intended for an A clarinet, as it would be quite a long barrel to be used for an A. I had assumed that it was merely a model designation. Is there truly any difference between A and Bb Moennig barrels? Should I return mine and find one designated for a Bb? I am happy with the intonation and tonal quality that it gives me. Thanks!
