 Re: How do you try barrels?

I must add that there are other barrel makers out there. And I'm sure some are VERY good. Sadly I haven't met very many. These people are usually very gifted.

A good barrel maker may ask you what the measurements of the upper joint bore opening is and the opening of the bore of the end of your mouthpiece. These are often so important. You can buy some inexpensive calipers from Harbor Freight for about $20 or less and this will surely help make that barrel sound and play much better in tune.

It's really an art form and a skill. The A Clarinet bore is almost always smaller.
