Re: clarinet w tenon on barrel

I've seen photos of a set of reform Boehms where the barrels on both instruments had a socket and tenon instead of two sockets, so all joints from the mouthpiece to lower joint all had a tenon on the lower end.

The only thing this will do is when the barrel is pulled out, the gap created between the end of the tenon and the bottom of the socket is not all that far from the speaker tube (so it's effectively within the top joint bore), so not sure how that will affect things acoustically whereas on a standard clarinet the gap is a lot further away from the speaker tube. Probably not much in it to be honest - if it plays fine, then that's all that matters.
