Re: Clarinet Barrel Problem

You are on the right track with regards to bringing this to a repairman. I'm not sure if you want to use the same barrel on both of your horns. If so have the repairman adjust the clarinet corks on both horns, replacement of both corks might be the best way, depending on the condition of the corks. You may also need to have the repairman remove some wood on the one clarinet, the tenon, at that joint which has probably swelled up. This is an easy fix actually, maybe around a 30 minute job to replace the corks, fix the swelling, so you can use the same barrel on both horns. This is not a common problem but it does happen, since wood is sensitive to moisture.
