After searching for many years, I finally found an A clarinet that plays with the same resistance as my Bb although they are from different manufacturers--Leblanc Concerto Bb and Buffet R13 A. For ease of switching mpcs, I use the Leblanc barrel for both clarinets and that works for me although I find I have to pull out a bit on the Bb more than on the A so that basic intonation is stable. When playing both A & Bb, I use a 65mm length Leblanc barrel, but when playing the Bb alone, I use a 66--no particular reason, it just seems to work more easily. However, beyond the issue of barrels for tuning, my main device is my ear--I listen and adjust to everyone around me (and most think that I play very well in tune......LOL)
