Re: Short barrel for the B & H 1010

With my set I bought in 1984, I got two 64s, a 63 1/2, and a 62 1/2, or that's about what they measure right now. With the shortest, which is stamped "Short" on the backside, I can get to 442. I mostly play it in rehearsals, because it takes too long to get the others up to 440. For whatever reason, the 63 1/2 is fatter, and doesn't seem to be any higher than the 64s. I think my mouthpiece is low, though. Unless mine have shrunk drastically, the 65 might be an anomaly. Every now and again, Clarinets Direct seems to have a short one available, so you might write him.
