Re: Do I need a shorter barrel?

Thanks a lot to everyone who participated in this thread.

Well my Howarth order was cancelled because they need to get an export certificate. They are ready to do that but, in meanwhile I managed to have a spine surgery that did not go exactly as planned. Todays is the 1st time I am able to look at my phone. The barrel from Howarth would be a new style with a new logo so I am still trying to find an older Prestige A barrel w/o much luck so far.
I was thinking of buying a used " regular" r13 64mm barrel for an A clarinet but did not see any yet.
Something I definitely didn't anticipate when I got this r13 Presige A.
There was one clue that something was not 100% right: the top joint logo is worn out about halfway but the logo on the barrel is intact so my understanding is that whoever played the clarinet most likely used a different barrel.
If I was only able to find the person.
The clarinet was a trade-in from an Airforce orchestra.
Thanks
