Who says you can not fit a square barrel on a round clarinet?
I would not doubt that a square bore barrel has been tried.

GBK might know for certain.

I did a Selmer barrel with a 0.5 inch bore using a mortising chisel (powered) then shaved it out to o.570 .
Did it work?...since I was experimenting with wood that I would not use for a barrel to begin with, it shattered during lathing outside of the socket.
Following this episode,I made a table with mortised joints and did not return to my square barrel experiment.
