 Re: Morrie Backun and the MoBa barrel

I visited the Backun factory last fall and it is a hugely impressive operation. Morrie personally took me on a tour of the facility and I was just blown away by the sophistication of the place. It's no wonder that his business is so successful.

He also took a look at my Eb clarinet, which had some very serious problems with it including cracked toneholes and a badly warped bore. I sent it up to him for an overhaul, and it was returned to me with some barrels and bells on approval. The bore had been corrected, the voicing was damn near perfect, the tone holes repaired. With the tulipwood barrel and bell, it not only sounds and plays better, it plays IN TUNE - even in the very high register, without elaborate alternate fingerings to make 'em work. It feels like I'm playing on my Bb.

It's not really a place to go if you just need to get a pad or two replaced, but if you need some serious work done on a horn, you can't go wrong with Morrie and company.
