@ Chris P

Actually it would have been a Grenadilla bell from the same factory as my clarinet it self came from. Beside the cheap mouthpiece I believe the Clarinet to be of fairly oke quality, with the new mouthpiece en reeds it is reasonably well tuned. With my quality of play, that is all I can say, about that. but from open G to Low F, I can manage to get is 5 cent off fairl easy.. just not stable..but that is me.. and completely expected.

But If I would (currently i am not going to) I understand it would be a bit of a gamble, should check If I could return it before purchase.. anway.. it is not a huge price either.

The current wood bell, has given it a timber which I personally seem to prefer.. but besides that, not much difference, it didn't seem to have any effect on tuning.
I understand that If I would travel, or big weather changes the rubber barrel would /could be better, so I will always keep it close.

Anyway. as said. for now I stick with what I got..

am happy with the sound and tuning..
it is definately better the my abilities :D

kind greats
