The Clarinet BBoard

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

Author: clarnibass  Date:   2017-05-30 10:30 Chris and Alseg are right. I measured a standard tapered barrel for Buffet clarinets which happens to be excellent. Taper was 0.35 degrees included angle. Calculating the difference, by using the same reamer on a barrel 1mm shorter, keeping one side the same diameter, the other would change by about 0.006mm (smaller and larger for the larger and smaller sides respectively). Though even measuring a wood barrel to under 0.01mm (which I did... to 0.001mm) is a little ridiculous Maybe one of the barrel makers here can explain what specific difference that would cause (vs. using a different reamer that is 0.006mm larger on one side i.e. different taper)? BTW using a hard stop on the reamer, different weather might drastically change the result. Using different materials would change the result (with the same reamer). Different material of barrel and clarinet would be affect by temperature/humidity differently by more than that amount. Even same wood barrels can react differently because wood is not completely even. etc.
