 Re: very tight joints on new clarinet

First, it's unbelievable to me that this is now to be expected on new instruments! Is there no pride on manufacturing left in the world? (It certainly reinforces my preference for vintage instruments!)

Second, I acquired a long sought after instrument recently which was essentially new old stock and while being almost 20 years old, I suspect had never been assembled or played. When I put it together, I found that neither of the included, standard barrels fit over the metal-ringed tenon. It wasn't even close -- the tenon was easily 0.3-0.5 mm too large! It took a couple of hours of careful sanding down of the receivers in each barrel (since I don't have a lathe) to make them fit. Now they work perfectly.

Good luck! I hope that you find a simple solution!
