Re: Flat Selmer Series 9

Series 9s will normally have a 66.5-67mm barrel but a 64.5-65mm or 62.5-63mm can be used should you need to. I personally use a 67mm barrel with all my Selmers as anything shorter than that makes them too sharp for me. But please don't shorten the 67mm barrel as they're very hard to come by - I'll willingly swap your 67mm for a 65mm if you want.

Similarly with B&H clarinets - it's all down to your chops and the type of mouthpiece you use.
