The clarion register is the most important to worry about. Pete Fountain's Leblanc Dynamic model sure has good long pipe tones in this register, their emission is better. With my 15mm clarinet bore I modified a plastic barrel to be conical, getting bigger as it goes down to the upper joint (as opposed to the reverse cone), of course by a fraction of a mm that is still, nevertheless, quite perceptable. This way it continues the conicalness of the mouthpiece bore, the Selmer CP100 with a huge chamber and throat to its bore . Those notes sound big and fat and the whole instrument has plenty of power, now with ordinary Vandoren Traditional reeds, the most popular, number 2 and 2.5 on the 1.22mm facing. The upper clarion is another story, but I took care of that with this large throated mpc, in my theory.

The call of the Wild
The claxon call to arms
Fuzzy throat and wider twelfths
Seek cover lest ye be harmed
Heed the clarion call of the Barrel
and pray on bended knee
Ask not for whom the Bell tunes
It might never tune for thee.

Against the windmills of my mind
The jousting pole splinters
