I think that Maruja wanted a specific answer related to his/her own clarinets.
That said, we'd need to know what "easier to play" means. Less resistance? "Better" response? Better key layout for him-her?
I would guess that what Maruja means by "easier" is resistance, which varies between clarinet models, whether "student," "intermediate," or "professional," and to a lesser extent by individual instruments.
Resistance is related to bore dimensions, tone hole size, and other things, including the mouthpiece and reed used on a particular horn. (And it can also be affected by the mechanical setup of the individual instrument, especially if there are leaks or the pad venting isn't correct.)
Yes, changing the barrel may make a difference, but it's the design of the barrel, not whether it's wood, that will make the biggest difference.
Still would like to know precisely what "easier to play" means to Maruja, though.
