I understand Carolines suggestion of 15.25 mm width to a maximum depth allowing for a spherical ending of the chamber.
I am still awed by how altering a mouthpiece can so radically transform a clarinets distinctive sound. I once read a thread in which someone stated that there were more differences between barrels and mouthpieces than there are between modern clarinets. He was trying to dissuade someone from upgrading to a Buffet R13 to satisfy their craving for a richer sound. He claimed that a polycylindrical barrel would in essence transform his lesser student clarinet into an R13. He went on to suggest that the prospective purchaser alter some expendable barrel interiors randomly to create polycylindrical barrels if he could not afford to buy a stock one or have one fabricated.
I was so excited by what he said that I immediately searched online for stock polycylindrical barrels and found nothing. In the two years since then I still haven't found access to such a stock barrel.His assertions are the main reason I want to try making my own barrels. Over the past two years I've collected a lot of exotic wood . Its about time that. I buy the cutters.
