Re: Clarinet barrels

Yes and you can play out of tune on a clarinet that has perfect tuning characteristics (I know this from my own disappointing experience). But the fact remains that the less "variation" you encounter from the instrument (ie the less you have to adjust from note to note) the easier the task (playing in tune) will be.
Most players who play will lower throat tones (relative to the rest of the scale) already allow for this by using a shorter barrel- and would order one from Les in the lengths that their experience has taught them they need.
Yes, they may not find the new barrel works, but if their tone production is so unfocussed that their throat tones are flat they will likely encounter this with many of the barrels they play.
