Re: Justification for a barrel like this?

The point of my thread is being missed. Perhaps I have not expressed myself as clearly as I should have, but perhaps what I have said should be read more clearly, too.

I'm not asking anybody how this barrel plays. I don't need to start a thread here in order to find that out.

But that isn't the thread I started. Please look at the topic heading. Please read the question that ends my first post. In other posts I have indicated that I'm interested in the theory of barrel design, for example: could the offset bore be deliberate? I've invited people to comment on how they think, from the point of view of the acoustical theory of barrel design, that this barrel would play. If you like, it's a test of the theory. Why, after all, do the vast majority of clarinet barrels have centred bores? What might be the problems created by an offset bore? Could an offset bore be a radical new design?

So I suppose if you're not interested in the theory, then by all means ignore this thread. It's as simple as that.
