Re: Eb Clarinet Barrel

Peter Hadcock's book is a great resource with lots of fingerings. http://www.vcisinc.com/clarinetmusicexcerpts.htm#C036

I like Clark Fobes mouthpieces and barrels. For a lower cost option, the Hite mouthpieces are very good. Robert Scott makes a delrin barrel that plays well.

In what way is the instrument out of tune? I always find that on Eb it is important to have lots of air and embouchure support and use a reed that is resistant enough to support the upper register without collapsing. Spend lots of time with a tuner and get a feel for the instrument. Perhaps have a tech check it out and try to find someone who plays Eb well and can help you fine if it is you or the instrument.

I believe that the standard Eb barrel for the Buffet is 41-42 mm.
