Re: Barrel Question

To original poster.....some answers:

It might actually cause sharpness in the clarion, flat or normal lower, and The throat tones would be fuzzy. Overall the effect would be a diffusion of sound.

Re-corking might help, unless the socket is abnormally wide. A loose socket can cause squeaks.

Not all of the auctioneers are "bottom feeders." Some notables use the auction site to "put their product out there" as an inexpensive means of advertising. Some are even willing to tinker and customize or substitute a product, hoping for good will....esp. from denizens of this BB.
I sometimes see my own barrels there, esp. when someone switches brands of clarinets and has a surplus of barrels.

It is OK to use a rubber barrel on a wooden clarinet, a wooden barrel on a plastic or rubber clarinet, or any other combination or material, as long as it achieves the response you desire. But never, ever, use an oak barrel on a clarinet. They are for Chardonnay.

Disclaimer....I make and sell barrels.
