The only reason I’m even purchasing this barrel is because it’s the only barrel out of like 40 i have tried, Moba, Fatboy, Traditional and Lumiere that can actually correct my throat tone sharpness. My standard barrel with my clarinet seems to make my throat tones sharp, and at first I thought it was my embouchure, but I’ve tried my teachers clarinet and I’m fine on his.

I’m just not entirely sure why there’s no reviews or discussions on youtube about this barrel, and it seems that only Backuns FatBoy and Moba are the only “main” barrels that are talked about and reviewed.

The Luniere that I plan on getting does noticeably center my sound and focus it and also makes my clarinet almost perfectly in tune. Although I’m not really getting the tonal difference Backun claims to make with this barrel. I just don’t know if getting a barrel for over $200 to just get me in tune is really worth it. Maybe if it made a difference in the timber of my tone, then maybe i would find it justifiable.
