Re: New Clarinet Barrel

I would kinda avoid a Cocobolo barrel as someone who is probably not looking for another problem. Cocobolo is a more reactive wood that expands and contracts more than African Blackwood, making it a little more prone to "fitting" issues and cracking. I am not speaking of sound or aesthetics here certainly since that is a personal choice.

The 67mm length seems appropriate to the described intonation issues.
