Hi Bob,

The barrel and bell have helped to focus the sound, stabilize the intonation, and perhaps most importantly, it feels easier to play. Easier to play is of course difficult to quantify and different for everyone, but for me it makes the instrument feel smoother, especially when changing registers.

I selected Brad Behn's for a few reasons, one of them being the fact that they are hard rubber. I wanted to keep my plastic clarinet fully non-wood. Of course, this would not be an issue for my wooden clarinet.

I am looking forward to seeing what you do with your barrels and bells. Hopefully one day I will get to try them, along with your mouthpiece!
