Hi Karl,
I am positive that there is at least one barrel that would improve the sound and possibly tuning of my clarinet.
The only thing is that, in order to find that one "perfect" barrel, I would need to buy 3-4 of each Moeing, Backun (2-3 models) and Icon barrels and test them all to find that one good barrel.
Preferably, have someone else listening as well. Unfortunately, not realistic to make it happen right now. And not really needed for my level of playing…
That is why I went with a "safe" bet on a Buffet Prestige barrel. In fact, my tech advised me to get 2-3 of those but Howarth only had two in stock so I took my 50/50 chance and ordered one barrel only.
I just wonder if there is any difference between R13 barrel and R13 Prestige barrel except for silver-plated rings.
The dimensions should be the same.
Again, many thanks for your help
