Re: Barrel is stuck

Another method of gripping the barrel tight to remove it is to loop a leather belt around it and fasten the free ends in a vice.

But the danger there is snapping the tenon off which is easier to do on a plastic clarinet than a wooden one if you use too much force and stress the tenon in the wrong direction.

I haven't snapped a clarinet tenon as of yet nor ever used this method on a plastic clarinet as I've never encountered a plastic clarinet where the barrel had bound on the tenon.

This belt and vice method is shown in a 1970s Yamaha repair manual.
