Re: My clarinets do not match!!

Brand matching really doesn't matter, as long as you're happy with the sound you're getting out of both instruments. The most important thing about your instruments is that they play in tune with good tone. As long as those two things are in place without too much effort, you're in good shape. My Bb and A match (Yamaha CSV's), but my Eb, C and Bass aren't Yamahas. Neither do my Oboe and English horn match for that matter.

Just to offer insight....

You can use the same barrel on Bb and A clarinets, as long as they are both in tune. I tend to use the same barrel on both instruments for most cases. But...I believe that Selmer makes their bores a bit different from other brands, and with that clarinet you probably won't be able to (although I could be wrong about that).
