I play a CT, and use the original Selmer barrel, but I also have used a Clark Fobes cocobola barrel with the hard-rubber lining. The Fobes barrel is available in several lengths, but I would suggest staying standard with a 66. The CT really sings with that barrel! The reason I use the original barrel is that it pretty much sings with that one too! I always use the Fobes barrel on my Selmer series 10, and I use another Fobes on my Selmer Series 10-G "A" clarinet. Symphony gigs are on the Buffet R13's all with Chadash barrels.
On the CT - a good mouthpiece that won't kill your chops is the Fobes San Fransisco CF+ piece. You'll find it very flexible, very comfortable, and with that warm and sweet ringing sound.
No, I'm not a Fobes salesman... But I've really found that his stuff works!
