I used it for seveal years both a the princial at the Eastern Music Festival orchestra and well as my position in the BSO as bass clarinetist performing on clarinet as well in many positions. I also performed a good deal of chamber music using it. People that reject it out of mind may not realize that rectangular bores on Sax mouthpieces was already around for some time. At the time Rovener was also manufacturing a successful Sax mouthpiece but was NOT the first one to use that type bore on them. I did eventually change to an Chaddash barrel and then to a Backun on my Buffet as I evolved and changed mouthpieces. BUT, it worked and tuned very well.
I used his barrel as an experiment for him to prove it's effectiveness. I didn't tell my friends or section for well over a year so no one ever realized what I was using. So I playing it on my Bb only as a principal, playing second or third, in solo and chamber music playing. I'd explain the technicial reasons why it worked so well as a barrel but I can't remember all the reasons he explained to me. Phil no longer owns the business but he as a clarinet player, and sax, studied at Peabody with Genussa years ago, and received an enginering degree so was always experimenting with different ideas.
