 63mm barrel for Yamaha Custom CX
Author: SunnyDaze

Hi,

I wondered if anyone has figured out whether Yamaha currently sell a slightly short barrel (63mm-ish) for a Yamaha Custom CX? (It comes with a 65m barrel)

I am currently using a 3rd party 63mm barrel, which brings the clarinet beautifully into tune with my embouchure and setup, but the actual Yamaha
barrel really transforms the tone, and makes the instrument much less resistant.

I asked Yamaha, and they said I should approach my dealer. I approached my dealer and they said they could shorten my barrel, but they were reluctant to do it, because my embouchure would eventually be strong enough to play it in tune.

But I also asked a local professional to play the instrument and she played it for an hour, and said I should definitely get hold of a short barrel for it.

I just wondered if anyone had managed to find such a thing, or if I would need to buy a second 65mm barrel and ask my local shop to shorten it?

Thanks!

Jennifer
