Re: Eb Clarinet barrel under 40mm?

It MOSTLY plays in tune, I should say. It is not overly sharp, which I would think such a tiny barrel would cause, but I do have to fight with some of the notes, especially the throat tones.

I have a Robert Scott barrel for my Bb clarinet and I felt that it not only helped with the intonation in the throat tones, but made the tone of them better as well. And it overall improved the tone of the instrument. So part of it is intonation, some part tone.

I did find out that I can get one custom made in 38mm. Now the next question is -- is it a standard size connection. I need to measure the joint and compare it to a modern Eb clarinet and see if it's the same size.
