Ron: One day I want to come watch you work. I think you need a web cam so all of us can watch.
Some metal clarinets, such as most Silver Kings, have thin sleeves because they go inside the bore. If they were thicker, they would reduce the bore size too much. However, I don't think this was the case with the Selmer. I suspect it was just to reduce weight. The Silva Bet barrels weigh a ton.
Walter can do a complete rebuild. Seriously, if you want to end up with a player, consider having him make a wooden barrel. Whatever you do, keep us posted.
