Re: Mpc for small bore clarinet

Max, from what I've read about the tapered bore, it does several wonderful things. However, it also adds resistance which I don't want. Brad Behn told me that the 0.575 cylindrical bore is like playing a Buffet B12. I'm currently looking at Ridenour's hard rubber straight bore barrel which has been getting some pretty good reviews from what I've read. However, it only comes in one size---64mm. Mine is the standard 66mm. So, it would help, but, I don't know how much.

Kenton153, I'm pretty sure the M13 non Lyre plays at 442 which would also help. And, yes, the 0.575 is considered a small bore. The only other size smaller that I know of is 0.565 and that is the Selmer Recital. Interesting, from the ad below, the Selmer C85 105 comes along with the clarinet.
