Re: Evaluating a b-flat clarinet barrel

There can be a little bit of the "mysterious" about barrels. The most dramatic example I experienced was when Greg Smith sent three Chadash barrels along with a bunch of his mouthpieces to try. Two of the barrels had the usual minor variances I was used to but the third was amazingly louder (they were all the same length so there was no really good reason for such a dramatic difference). For reasons at the time I did not get that barrel but I still dream about it to this day.
