 new fangled barrel(JEPP) IT'S GREAT

FOR ALL OF YOU....FYI....

There's a guy making clarinet barrels and advertising on Sneezy...as well as offering them on ebay....Chris Jepperson is his name....I got one and it's fantastic...great sound and intonation...and unlike some of the other "after market" barrels...Chris's are hand turned Grenadilla. Look for JEPP in the classifieds. He's now a Sneezy sponsor and you should give his barrels a try. I'm using mine with both a VanDoren 5JB and a Selmer crystal #3. So both "open" and "medium open" MPCs work well with it.
Chris also makes his own cork grease and he included some with my JEPP barrel.
It's different. More like a cream than a grease.
I'd recommend both his cork grease and barrels for all clarinetists.

The Doctor's Cork Grease is very hard to beat. I checked with Chris & asked if he was selling Anhydrous Lanolin. I got an AFFIRMATIVE answer. I use this Lanolin a lot .... I buy a pound for $15.00. A pound is a LOT of volume. No doubt it's way cheaper than that, as I didn't even "shop" it. Best, mw

No, I haven't. I use a Chadash that I just bought from Greg Smith. I'm happy, my intonation is greatly improved over what I felt was good. Have your tuned the JEPP barrel "up & down"? mw
