“C” what you’ve been missing
The Backun C Barrel optimizes the tuning, stability, and intonation of this notoriously challenging auxiliary instrument. Whether you’re jamming with a guitarist or performing with a professional orchestra, you’ll immediately “C” what you’ve been missing.
Specs: Grenadilla or cocobolo wood. Tulipwood by special order only. Please contact us to order.
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
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. Tulipwood blends the best of both worlds.
Still Not Sure?
That's ok! Please contact us for assistance, we'd be happy to help.
What's included?
One barrel, one velvet bag, and one barrel tube.

Prompt professional service during purchase and shipping. It turned out that my clarinet and mouthpiece required a different bore size, but Backun’s staff handled the return with a lightning quick full refund and no hassles. I will definitely be purchasing from Backun again.
Hi Karen, If the bore needs to be made bigger for you we may be able to assist you, but please note this adjustment would make the product final sale. Of course, once it's been made we can't make it smaller, though! If you'd like to follow up with us at sales@backunmusical.com maybe we can find a solution that will work for you? Sean
Fixed all issues with my budget, hard rubber C clarinet’s depth, resistance and response-freer blowing, bigger/ deeper sounding and tunes better than stock hard rubber barrel. Altissimo notes speak much more easily with the grenadilla Backun barrel. (Beautifully finished wood)
