BD5 13 series

Hello all,

I currently play Yamaha SE Artist clarinets. I have a new Vandoren BD5 13 series mouthpiece. The tuning on my Bb is great (better with the 13 series) with the shorter Yamaha barrel. (65mm) but I am having difficulty getting the pitch up on my A clarinet. I don’t think Yamaha make shorter barrels than 65. So I was wondering about getting a Backun MoBa 64mm barrel.

Does anyone know if a 64mm MOBA is equivalent in tuning to if it were a Yamaha 64mm barrel?
Has anyone else had this issue? Did a 64mm barrel help with the tuning?

I’m very short of available time to try out in the shop before an important gig so thinking of just buying one in the meantime to solve the tuning issue!

Thanks everyone!
Nadia
