Re: Chadash Barrel, which size?

Talked to Mr. Chadash a few years ago over the phone ... a very friendly fellow with amazing knowledge of clarinet acoustics. If my old memory serves, I think his barrels are overall smaller bore with an hourglass taper, but with a short cylindrical section in the middle. I was VERY impressed with the way it changed my R13's playing characteristics.

My question for him was that I was interested in a greenline barrel ... and he stated that he had special hardened reamers ordered for the greenline material. I was short of disposable income at the time, so didn't pursue getting one of his barrels right away.

I wish we had a better way for predicting player/MP/barrel/horn interaction, just to save time and money and get us in the ballpark for experimentation.
