Andrew Doyle Barrel – Wenge with Carbon Fibre Rings 65.5mm | 66.0mm

The
barrel may be the smallest section of the clarinet, but it can have a huge
impact on your sound and intonation…and tune. If you love your clarinet and
your mouthpiece but still can’t quite find the sound you want, maybe you should
consider trying different barrels – It may be surprised yourself !

Handcrafted
clarinet wooden barrels by Andrew Doyle are available from DR TOOT Brass &
Woodwind Specialist.
