Re: Moennig Barrels won't slide on

I think the bottom line is that any cause of the problem can be repaired, but probably not without altering either your clarinet or the barrels, which you don't own. You should let us know what the result is of leaving the instrument and barrel out in order to acclimate everything to the same humidity. I doubt that will help, but there's no way to know without trying it.

So, in the end, you probably will have to pick one, pay for it, and have it adjusted, or send both back and get a couple of different specimens to see it the problem is consistent with this model on your clarinet.

Have you tried a Chadash barrel? They're also meant for Buffets and use the Moennig taper, although I think he gets to it with a slightly different reaming process.
