Re: Selmer Privilege Barrel

Ruben's generalization seems valid; most Selmer players use the barrel that came with the instrument, especially if we're talking about regular barrels. For the P & S adjustable type swivel barrels (which now include Behn, EMS, Corbin, and others), I'm not so sure. About 4 years ago, Selmer briefly advertised two new model regular (not swivel) clarinet barrels especially for the Privilege, designed to give players a greater range of choice. One barrel was called the "Centered Tone" barrel, and the other was the "Evolution" barrel. Since then, I haven't seen much more from Selmer on these: https://www.facebook.com/SelmerParisClarinets/posts/1309224115765520. The Centered Tone was supposed to tighten the sound, and the Evolution was to open it up. Maybe most players decided to neither tighter nor loosen the sound and just leave it where it was with the original barrel???

Fobes makes a barrel especially for the Selmer Signature but doesn't mention the Privilege.
