Re: various length barrels

Yes, I returned it on Tuesday. I needed to rent it for only a short period of time. However, I'm afraid I may need to rent it again in the future and I don't want to experience the same frustration with the barrel length that I experienced this time. The click barrel seemed like a good solution until I couldn't get enough air into it to make it play...maybe my mpc didn't fit tight enough? The rental clarinet came with both 65mm and 55mm barrels and the rental shop threw in a click barrel when I told them the issues I was having. The 65mm plays off-the-scale flat. The 55mm plays off-the-scale sharp, but at least I can pull out 3 different joints to get to it play in tune on most, but not all notes. That's why I'm asking about the 60mm barrel from Scott. It's possible that it's an affordable alternative for me if folks have used it and liked it.
