I have the greatest respect for Tom Ridenour. There is a certain degree of irony in his choosing to comment on this thread, however. The last time I had an issue with a clarinet barrel was about 18 months ago when I purchased a plastic student model Ridenour clarinet through his "shop" on the well-known auction site. It was an excellent clarinet and I said as much in an email to him. The single barrel that came with it, however, was so narrow at the mouthpiece end that although I have about 130 mouthpieces, including a number of Ridenour mouthpieces, I couldn't find a single one that I could squeeze into that barrel. No great problem, since I have plenty of other barrels, but it seems that occasionally barrels can go wrong somehow. I also commented on this barrel problem in my email to Tom, but I never received a reply from him.
