Re: Long vent tube in Buffet A

I recently purchased the A grunt fix for my R13 A clarinet from Muncy Winds, about $40. It fixed the problem completely.

The replacement tube is ~0.065" shorter than the original and has a slightly larger bore or inside diameter. As best I could measure, the original tube has a 0.098" ID while the replacement seems to be tapered - ~0.120" at the thumb end and ~0.136" at the other end. (I don't know if the ID is a straight taper or whether it squeezes or contracts from end to end.) I never discovered the Buffet part number for the replacement.
