Donald, I won't go into details with you but what you said is not necessarily true that someone playing the throat tones flat needs a shorter barrel. I can tell you from my own playing experience that simply is not true for everyone. My point is not to tell you, your friend or anyone else that he doesn't make very high quality barrels. My advise is, and has always been with anything clarinet wise, to try before you buy and to make comparisons. I've had many students that have become pros and I myself a long pro career and that is my advise to everyone. No one but the players knows, or can tell, what works best for them, especially using tuners to check. Once again, the mouthpiece, the reed, the voicing, the clarinet bore all make a difference. So the barrel has to complement all of those elements. Have a good day.
