Clarinet Barrel Problem

Author: platinumdoor

The original barrel of my R-13 no longer fits. A little over a month ago, I really struggled to get the barrel on/off. I decided to use the barrel of my A clarinet instead and it seems to fit properly. However, now when I try to match my R-13 with the original barrel it no longer fits at all (about a 1/4 of an inch still remains between the barrel and the upper joint when pushed all the way together). I am unsure if the issue is my clarinet or the barrel- the original R-13 barrel fits perfectly on my A clarinet. At first, I thought this may be because of the transition into summer in my area causing the wood or tendon to expand. I plan on going to my normal repair-person however, any help or information as to what the issue is or how to resolve it would be appreciated. Thanks!
