I use the Forte C clarinet in orchestra often, especially in the opera orchestra.
I use the shorter of the two barrels.
Gary - When you get the shorter barrel you might want to read the following thread:

if you find the long B and C play too flat.
In terms of intonation, sound and keywork, the Forte C clarinet is a viable option to the top-of-the-line Buffets, at a fraction of the price.
