I purchased an extension from Clark Fobes and have loved it!
I play a vintage off-brand eefer (a Martin Freres Grand Prix which actually plays quite well), so even with measurement and after consulting Mr. Fobes himself, we weren't sure what would fit. So, he sent me both extensions (he makes one for Buffet and one for Selmer/Leblanc, I believe), and we selected the best choice (which still required a bit of sanding to fit properly). I simply dropped the one I didn't choose back into the mail to Mr. Fobes (who was a heck of a nice guy and very helpful and knowledgeable, btw)
The extension has made a noticeable improvement in both overall tone and intonation and I highly recommend them to anyone playing Eb clarinet.
