Re: [New] Martin Freres barrels

Interestingly enough the good people at Martin Freres have NO problem actually custom building a clarinet barrel. Because I have Yamaha CSGs (a small portion of the market and an odd sized barrel) I have found that most "custom" barrel makers will NOT custom make a 54mm barrel. In fact only Dr. Allan Segal is the only other custom barrel maker that was actually able to custom build a barrel for me.

I am awaiting my new Freres barrel with quite a bit of anticipation. But I can tell you that they already have my respect in that they are not a company that just says,"Here, try a bunch of these and find one that works for you."
