 the barrel argument
Author: jacobhardy25

I feel like a lot of clarinetists that i know dont agree that barrels dont affect your sound very much but after this week, i definitely believe they do. I just got a new barrel (a GAO royal cohler grenadilla) and it really helped out my sound. specifically, it opened it up more and really darkened my sound compared to my stock buffet barrel. i felt like in my upper register, a lot of the notes were really thin and bright and the barrel really helped those notes become more full and dark. i am a firm believer that there is such thing as "too dark" but thebarrel i bought really darkened the sound but not too much where its too dark. what do you guys think on the affect the barrel has on a clarinet?
