Overview Ebony Clarinet Barrel 80x38x38 mm:

The barrel of the clarinet is the part that joins the mouthpiece to the upper joint of the clarinet. They are made in different sizes (between 64 and 67 mm) thus varying the tuning of the instrument. It is essential for tuning the clarinet and can be easily slid for this purpose.

Ebony is, together with blackwood, the most sought-after wood in the construction of woodwind instruments. Like the former, it has similar properties in terms of hardness, ease of turning and sound qualities, being slightly less dense -and therefore lighter- and not as lustrous as blackwood. In any case, it is one of the favorite woods of woodwind instrument makers.
