Re: Why don't barrel vendors provide bore measurements?

(Disclaimer - I make barrel and sell barrels)
As Allan has said the taper for any particular barrel depends on a number of different factors which he has outlined. The material also has a lot to do with what taper is used. We have found that in making barrels out of hard rubber that a completely different taper from most wooden barrels works best, at least for Buffet clarinets. The dimensions of the bore of the barrel is more consistent with hard rubber because heat and humidity do not play a big factor in changes in bore dimensions. All of our barrels are completely made using CNC machining with a custom made taper rod tool reamer for the bore which makes the barrels more consistent than using a hand reamer.
