Therefore the aim was to develop a clarinet barrel leading to new sound dimensions and at the same time eliminating the above mentioned problems. The new development protected by trade mark rights offers an previously unknown sound brilliance. The zoom barrel represents the perfect symbiosis of improved sound characteristics and reproducible intonation. The fact that the new z-barrel has a continuous bore in every position of length and additionally is not interrupted on the outside leads to an improvement which seemed unimaginable so far.

Tuning becomes precisely adjustable and visible by an adjusting collar supplied with a scale. Rotating the adjusting collar expands the barrel without modifying the axial alignment. The clarinet barrel is produced with modern CNC turning technology and extended by the adjusting collar for intonation adaption without the mouth piece or the clarinet twisting towards each other.

• For Buffet RC series
• Boehm system
• Size: approx. 64 mm
• The lower part of the barrel consists of grenadilla (dalbergia melanoxylon)

When standard clarinet barrels are pulled out for intonation correction, only attenuated vibrations are transferred to the clarinet, as the connection to the tenon cork is reduced, while a hollow space is created on the inside and a gap on the outside.

For this reason, it was our aim to develop a clarinet barrel leading to new sound dimensions and at the same time eliminating the above mentioned problems.

This new development, protected by trademark rights, offers an unprecedented brilliance in sound. The zoom barrel represents the perfect symbiosis of improved sound characteristics and reproducible intoning. No matter how the length is adjusted, it has a continuous bore and additionally is not affected on the outside. Tuning becomes precise and clearly visible via an adjusting collar complete with a scale. Rotating the adjusting collar lets the barrel expand without affecting the axial alignment.

The clarinet barrel is produced with modern CNC turning technology. It can be adjusted for intonation with the adjustment collar without the mouth piece or the clarinet turning to each other.

• The lower part of the barrel is made of grenadilla (Dalbergia melanoxylon)
• 55 mm
• For German clarinets

If conventional clarinet barrel are pulled out for intonation adjustment, only damped vibrations are passed on from the mouthpiece to the clarinet, since the connection is reduced to the tenon cork and, in addition, forming a cavity on the inside and a gap on the outside. The objective was therefore to develop a clarinet barrel whose design avoids these disadvantages and opens up new dimensions in sound, eliminating the above mentioned concerns. The new development, which is protected by industrial property rights, enables a previously unprecedented sound brilliance. The Zoombarrel combines improved sound characteristics and reproducible intoning. Each length setting has a continuous bore and is not interrupted in the outside leads. Tuning settings can be precisely adjusted and visible via an adjusting collar supplied with a scale. In this way, settings can be easily restored. Rotationg the adjusting collar allows the barrel to expand without modifying the axial alignment. The clarinet barrel is manufactured using the latest CNC turning technology and extended by the adjusting collar for intonation assimilation without turning the mouthpiece or the clarinet to each other.
