Detail 01
66 mm length
One millimeter longer than the 65 mm. Lowers overall pitch slightly, so you push in less at the joints.

Clark W FobesHardwood Clarinet Barrel Bb Clarinet - 66 mm
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 66 mm hardwood barrel for Bb clarinet. The longer option, for players who tune sharp or push in too far at the joints.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who consistently tune sharp on a Bb clarinet
- Anyone playing in warm halls where pitch rises
- Students told by a teacher to try a longer barrel
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- A clarinet owners — this is Bb only
- Players who already sit flat at 65 mm
- Beginners on a plastic horn who won't hear the change
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
Cut for Bb clarinet
Not interchangeable with an A clarinet barrel. The two horns are different lengths and take different parts.
Detail 03
Hardwood construction
Needs warming before play and swabbing after. Sudden cold and dryness are what crack wood parts.
Detail 04
$209
Upgrade pricing. Makes sense on a wood intermediate or pro horn, less so on a student plastic model.
Detail 05
Fixed length
No tuning ring. Your only adjustment is how far you pull out at the barrel and joints.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your current barrel — go to 66 mm only if you tune sharp
- 02Tenon fit varies by maker and model; verify before ordering
- 03Sold on its own — no case, swab, or cork grease
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Should I get 65 mm or 66 mm?
If you constantly push the barrel all the way in and still play sharp, go 66 mm. If you pull way out to reach pitch, go 65 mm.
02Can I use this on an A clarinet?
No. Buy the A clarinet barrel instead.
03Will one millimeter actually matter?
Yes, on pitch overall. It shifts where you sit relative to the ensemble and changes how much you pull out at the joints.
04How should I store a wood barrel?
Keep it in the case at stable room temperature and humidity. Swab it dry after playing and don't leave it in a hot or freezing car.
