Re: Buffet B12 with Backun Traditonal barrel

Sometimes a barrel (and/or bell) can make all the difference. You never know till you try. I've got a Backun barrel and bell on my R-13 and there is no going back! And just the luck of the draw, but somehow the Backun barrel mysteriously changed the horn's tuning issues to being spot on for most all the notes.
My daily horn is the Yahama SE V-Master (available new only in Japan) Long story short, I had an opportunity to put a Backun Lumiere barrel and bell on it and it utterly transformed the character of the horn - making a great horn into a luminous fat toned much greater horn! Really just loving it. In case anyone wonders, I will mention that I prefer this setup to the actual Lumiere clarinet. Nevertheless acknowledge that the Lumiere is a superb clarinet in all respects.
