Re: Boosey & Hawkes - Barrel & Bell lengths

Author: Chris P

I think 1010s have a slightly longer top joint compared to the other (narrower bore) B&H clarinets, so they'd have a shorter barrel to compensate for the extra length at the top end which is the same way a Yamaha CSG has a longer top joint and shorter barrel compared to their other clarinets.

The short barrel/longer top joint proportions of these clarinets are borrowing the concept from German clarinets whose barrels are only around 54mm to 58mm compared to traditional Boehm systems where barrels are from 62mm to 67mm.
