Need Backun Fatboy Barrel Measurements – Building a 66 mm Pau-Ferro Barrel for B

Hi everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well!

I’m currently planning to build a 66 mm barrel in pau-ferro (ironwood) for my Bb clarinet. Unfortunately, buying a Backun Fatboy barrel from abroad has become very difficult because of the high import taxes here in Brazil, so I’ve decided to have one handmade by a local craftsman.

To get the shape and proportions right, I’d really appreciate if anyone could share the exact dimensions of the Backun Fatboy barrel, especially:

The maximum outer diameter (the widest part)

The overall profile or contour

Any precise measurements, sketches, or references would be incredibly helpful.

Thank you very much for your time and kindness!

Best regards,
André
