Re: Top joint tenon too long???

Never mind that the barrel doesn't go all the way down on the tenon. What matters is whether or not the instrument is in tune or, better, slightly sharp when the barrel is in. Taking the last two posts together, it may be an aftermarket barrel made for an instrument with a shorter tenon. But if the clarinet is in tune as things are, all that will be accomplished in shortening the tenon is that it will be sharp and the barrel will have to be pulled the extra millimeter anyway (which will look just like it does now).

Ask the buyer to check the tuning before having anything done to the tenon.
