Barrel Question

Author: Elkwoman46

Regarding bore sizes...

If a person needed to replace a barrel on a clarinet that is missing one...

If the length is the same in millimeters, but the replacement bore size is slightly larger in diameter inside, how does that affect the intonation? Will the whole thing be just off and a big mess, or will it just be lower in pitch or higher??? Not really affecting the intonation of each note but just the pitch?? Or???
What are the ramifications of the affect if the bore size is not the same as original?
And what are the ramifications of all this if the original bore size is not known?

Thanks so kindly.

Also, is it absolutely okay to put a wooden barrel on a plastic clarinet if that is the only acquisition that can be made for it?

And if a barrel is too loose, can cork renewing do it, or are there barrels out there that are made for a different size?

Thanks again.
