Clark Fobes Eb Clarinet African Blackwood Barrel

The barrel joint is an extremely important aspect of the overall acoustical design of the clarinet. It has a profound effect on modal ratios (pitch) and tonal coloration. We can think of the barrel as the "interface" between clarinet and mouthpiece. Barrel design was dramatically improved with the innovation by Hans Moennig of the inverted cone bore. This is a shape that is suited well to the paradigm of Poly cylindrical bored clarinets (most Buffets) and the larger bore style mouthpieces preferred by American players. FOBES barrels feature an inverted cone style bore and are designed to work in conjunction with FOBES mouthpieces. Improvements you can expect with a FOBES barrel are: Closer twelfth intervals Slightly lowered pitch in the tones of the left hand, upper register Focused throat tones Increased resonance and response All FOBES barrels are made from aged African blackwood with NO RINGS for better resonance and warmth.
