 Re: Buffet 'A' Clarinet - H.P. or L.P.

I have a Bb/A Buffet pair (with wraparound register keys) from 1908, Kalmen Opperman told me that during that period, which is close to your 1915 date, barrels were longer and had a different taper from those used today. He made me a 68.5 mm. barrel that works on both instruments.

You should go to a barrel maker who makes individual adjustments to a barrel to match your particular clarinet, mouthpiece and way of playing. There was nobody like Kal, but you'll get the best results by sitting in the tweaker's studio and testing each progressive change.
