Re: Buffet B12 with Backun Traditonal barrel

To be clear, I am NOT a fan of the Buffet B12 clarinet. I find the internal pitch (moving from note to note) unacceptable on every level.

But even taking my disdain out of the equation, a barrel will only make small changes to the timbre of any clarinet (and/or hopefully improve some issue of the overall tuning.....internal pitch CANNOT be addressed with a barrel).

Depending on what you paid for the Buffet B12, the Traditional Backun barrel may be close to what you paid for your horn. This is NOT a practical ratio in terms of the affect you might achieve.

Personally I'd save the money and put it toward your next better horn.
