Re: Eb Metal Clarinet Question

Thanks for the tip, Lelia! I'll need to remember that when I'm rummaging for metal clarinets at flea markets et al!

Stebinus, I saw that Elkhart Eb on eBay too. There's somebody else on eBay with a lot of metal clarinet barrels that he's selling one by one. I got the measurement of the Eb's top diameter (11/16") from that seller, then asked the barrel seller if he had any that'd fit, and he looked and said no, he didn't.

So again, finding a barrel to fit this beastie will be a neat trick.

There's someone in France who makes replacement barrels for metal clarinets. You might ask him if he could do one for an Eb:

BTW I decided not to bid on this Elkhart Eb because of the missing barrel, especially because I already have a fabulous metal Eb, a U. S. Army model Cundy-Bettoney.
