Re: Synthetic barrel suggestions

A suggestion that doesn't get enough mention here are the barrels from Wesley Rice. They're extremely consistent and have been adopted by a number of musicians here in DC recently. I do play a couple of his grenadilla barrels on my main set of clarinets for certain reasons, but his Delrin (synthetic) barrels are outstanding and I use one exclusively on a Greenline Tosca of mine. I don't know enough to say whether they're a perfect fit for the Backun Alpha, but from what I know about the design, they're probably as good a fit as any of the 3rd party options. I really can't recommend them highly enough.

They can be found here:
