| The first clarinet barrel made with a solid bronze insert. Completely hand made to Marty Krystall's specifications in grenadilla wood by Artist Tech in Los Angeles, CA. The removable insert forming the center diameter is held against the barrel wall with an O-ring, creating a system superior in response to a solid wood barrel and offers a penetrating dark sound with a wider dynamic range. And unlike wood, the bronze insert is guaranteed for life to never warp, swell, or change shape. Each barrel is played and tested by Marty Krystall and designed for use in French (R-13) bore clarinets. |
| Available in 64.5mm, 65mm and 66mm lengths and six reverse-tapered models: |
| R4 | Traditional Moennig style reverse taper. |
