Re: Buffet greenline r13 clarinet.

I’m a pit musician/doubler and replaced my wood r-13 last year with a used Greenline and very happy with it thus far. While I had avoided any cracking on my old horn thus far, I did find it far more sensitive to the temp and humidity in the way the horn responded, and I’m happy not to worry so with the Greenline. The new horn feels much more consistent in the way it responds in varying temps and humidity. I’m wondering if any Greenline owners have had success with aftermarket barrels. The grenadilla fobes and Icon barrels I have don’t seem to work as well on my Greenline. So far I’m preferring the synthetic Pyne barrels I have but I’m curious to try an Icon in the Greenline material. I feel like maybe there would be the best match in resonance with matching the material of the barrel with the body. FYI, I do not use the stock 66 Greenline barrel as my needs are usually for a shorter barrel due to switching horns and really cold pit situations.
