Detail 01
66 mm length
A middle-of-the-road length. Shorter barrels push pitch up, longer ones pull it down, so this is the neutral starting point.

Buffet CramponChadash Clarinet Barrel Bb - 66 mm
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 66 mm replacement barrel for Bb clarinet. For players fine-tuning pitch, response and resistance on an instrument they already own.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who run consistently sharp or flat with the stock barrel
- Fine-tuning intonation for a specific ensemble or hall
- Building a two-barrel set for warm and cold rooms
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners — barrel choice will not fix embouchure problems
- Anyone hoping to replace a proper setup or better mouthpiece
- Non-Bb clarinets without checking the socket fit
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Barrel, sold separately
It swaps in place of the barrel already on your clarinet. Nothing is added to the instrument's overall design beyond that joint.
Detail 03
Chadash design
A distinct bore profile from the standard barrel, so response and resistance change alongside pitch, not just tuning.
Detail 04
Buffet Crampon make
Cut to Buffet socket dimensions, so it seats on Buffet clarinets without modification. Other brands need a fit check.
Detail 05
$434 for one part
This is a refinement purchase for a good instrument, not an upgrade path for a student horn.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your current barrel length first — 66 mm may not be the change you need
- 02Tenon corks may need adjusting by a tech for a proper seal
- 03Confirm the socket fit if your clarinet is not a Buffet
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What length barrel should I get?
Measure what you play now. If you are sharp, go longer; flat, go shorter. 66 mm is a common middle length and a sensible default if you are unsure.
02Will this fit a non-Buffet clarinet?
Check the tenon and socket dimensions first. Buffet barrels are cut for Buffet instruments; other brands may fit loosely or not seat fully.
03Will a new barrel fix my intonation?
It shifts overall pitch and changes resistance. It will not correct note-to-note tuning problems, which come from the instrument, the mouthpiece, or the embouchure.
04Do I need cork work after buying?
Often yes. Corks are fitted to the original barrel, so a technician may need to adjust or replace them for a snug, airtight fit.
