 Re: R13 with a Selmer Recital barrel

Barrels are a mystery. I know that you can be given a set of standard Buffet barrels of allegedly identical specification and yet the instrument sounds very distinctly different with each one. I've had the same experience with other makes of clarinets. So the change you find with the Selmer barrel might be no bigger than you would have got with a different Buffet barrel.

Why are they all so different? It can only be differences in getting an accurate shape to the bore, or something to do with how a particular piece of wood resonates, based on its internal structure. I know that Peter Eaton supports the latter explanation, and indeed with modern equipment you'd expect the dimensions to be very consistent (although the wood can move after cutting, I suppose).
