Re: Backun Barrels for Eb Clarinet

I have not had an opportunity to try Backun barrels on E flat clarinet, but I have had the opportunity to use a great Clark Fobes extension and barrel on my Buffet RC e-flat clarinet and they are superb! The extension is so effective in smoothing out the sound of the low and mid register and the barrel improves the upper clarion twelfths! I also have used this equipment recently with the Broadway Touring Production of WICKED and recent Houston Ballet performances of the Ravel Piano in G . The high solo that is early in the third movement and the lead tutti passages later in the movement were so easy with the Fobes barrel and extension! Highly recommended. I also have not been paid or received free equipment form Mr. Fobes.
