B. Corbin Focus Clarinet Barrel

The B. Corbin Focus Clarinet Barrel helps produce a sound that is dark, even, and resonant, all while improving intonation and articulation response. Designed with an acoustically inspired shape and a different taper than the Corbin Traditional,
TheFocusbarrel is especially suitable for bringing “core” back to older instruments, or for those musicians looking to transfer resistance to their instrument from their mouthpiece/reed set-up and improve/lower pitch in higher pitched areas of the clarinet, specifically throat tones and left hand clarion pitches.

More Information

These barrels work well on both Bb and A clarinets. Many musicians will use the same barrel on both instruments, with or without tuning rings – an extra perk for the orchestral musician.

Generally, choose the same length barrel that you are currently using on your set-up. If you are very sharp and tend to pull the barrel out more than a millimeter, consider a longer barrel or purchasing tuning rings.

Barrels fit most brands of clarinets with standard tenon diameters (Buffet, Yamaha, etc). There are exceptions for instruments with non-standard tenon diameters. Please feel free to send us an email if you are unsure about the compatibility of your clarinet.
