 The Clarinet BBoard

I'm 99% convinced that it was an aftermarket Bakun barrel that caused my Bliss to crack. From the very first time I put the barrel on, it fit quite snugly. As my instrument warmed up and saliva started making the joint swell ever-so-slightly, it would become impossible to remove the barrel. I would have to wait for an hour or more until I had a hope of removing it. This frequently happened. The music store I purchased both items from suggested I apply bee's wax to the wood of the top joint to keep it from swelling, which I did religiously. However, my clarinet still cracked. I'm VERY leery now about using a barrel that wasn't made specifically for the brand and model of clarinet I own. I still own the Backun barrel, and now a Buffet, and there's no way I'm going to use the two together. I must admit, however, that the Backun made a huge improvement on the depth of sound of my Bliss.
