Where it all began
There is a reason we call this barrel the New Traditional: this is where it all began. An exotic wood body nestled between two integrated wooden rings brings unyielding response and even articulation to your clarinet. Many artists consider this barrel to be the optimal choice for solo and chamber music playing.
Specs: Grenadilla or cocobolo wood. Compatible with Bb and A clarinets.
Fit
Most instruments use Standard fit. Standard Plus is the same fit with a larger bore that's more free blowing. Many (but not all) Selmer Paris instruments use Selmer Paris fit.
Length
Most clarinets use a 66 or 65 mm barrel, but this varies by manufacturer. If you're happy with the tuning you'll want to order the same size as listed on your current barrel.
Wood
Cocobolo is red in appearance and offers a dark, full-bodied tone. Grenadilla is brown or black and offers a more focused sound with increased ping and projection.

I am loving the sound! Cured the chronic flat intonation issues!
The responsiveness of this barrel is very good. All notes speak with ease, especially going over the break.
Indeed it transformed my clarinet sound warmer and brighter with less effort. Even the slightest tone can be produced with slightest effort. Really cool barrel to upgrade a student grade clarinet.
My Buffet R13 always played flat. Went to 64mm barrel instead of stock 65mm. Clarinet plays in tune now and the tone improvement is palpable!
Not a snug fit on my Yamaha 650, but I'm using it anyway because of the full, warm sound.
Hi Larry! Please consider re-corking your clarinet's tenon. Sometimes this is required when switching to a new barrel. Thank you for choosing Backun.
Its excellent very happy with my purchase
