Re: Help w/ Choosing Barrel

Moennig barrels have completely changed my ease of playing. Articulation in the high register, smooth feeling leaps and octaves. Moennigs feature a reverse taper to create this feel. Make sure you test a few at a time before you buy. Just like everything else clarinet, they're like snowflakes.

I also just recently dealt with Taplin and Weir. Their customer service was amazing and they sent me three Moennig-cut barrels and three Moennig cuts with the EU style (which looks like Backun but doesn't dampen the sound as much).

Happy hunting!
