Re: barrel length

If you have the current 65mm or 66mm, check the tuning and intonation over the entire range to see that most notes (but not all notes) are in tune and the clarinet is in tune with itself.

Older Buffets had a much larger bore than the R13, so measure the bore diameter at the middle tenon as that's the narrowest diameter (and the one that's mentioned in the catalogues) and also the top tenon as the exit bore of the barrel should be the same diameter as that (and fractionally wider at the mouthpiece end).
