Re: Help w/ Choosing Barrel

This Ed agrees with that Ed. No one can tell you what will make you sould the way you want. Just like mouthpieces, every single barrel is different even the same model by the same manufacture. I have several Backuns, love them, but I tried many before choosing the ones that fit me best. I also use a Segal on one clarinet, it fit my Selmer best, while the Backuns were better for me on my Buffets. I used to use the Moenigs and Chadash but as I tried others over time I changed my preference. If you get a chance to go to one of the clarinetfests or a clarinet workshop at one of the universities where many manufacture are on display you can try out many. Other wise just keep trying as many as you can. You may find the right fit on day one or in six months. Remember, you can try five of the same model and one will stand out while the others won't. Make sure you pay attention to intonation when choosing. Prime importance.
