I was having a clarinet crisis. I was living a concert clarinetist life in the world of jazz. Solution::: I started with Alan Segal. He made me a great Jazz barrel that he custom designed for me. It really helped (clarinet concepts). He is great with communication and very helpful. I was so pleased with my barrel I decided to get a mouthpiece and that further enhanced my tone. My next step was to change my clarinet. I brought a 444n Conn oldie. Allan made me a great barrel for that. It helped, but still love the sound of my LL and his first barrel. He is absolutely terrific with design concepts for barrels. While in this process he designed a x barrel and a inverted cone barrel for me. He uses unusual fine woods. I believe allot of the warmth in my sound comes from those. Projection however comes from bore design. He (Alan Segal) will guide you through your clarinet ailments. After all he is a surgeon of the highest order. Thanks Doc for all you have giving me
