Jordan Selburn - Hi John, I have to agree with you to a point. As I've stated a few times before I spent a long time looking for the correct barrels for the CSVR's. A reverse taper, 10mm's for the A clarinet.

Also the bore of the mouthpiece has a lot to do with tuning. As players we have to be flexible but finding a short barrel for the CSG is much harder and this can be frustrating. As we know this barrel is so small at 56 or 58mm's.

Crusius - Way to go! Have a blast with the horn. You will surely like the big round sound. Don't make any adjustments to the actual clarinet for at least 6 months until it's broken in. You can mess with barrels, mouthpieces and things like that. I did put cork pads on the upper register of my horns. Only because I like the feel of cork. Leather can be spongy. I do my own repairs so the total cost was about $3 for the cork and it was well worth it.
