Who the Cutback Eb Clarinet Barrel Is For
A cutback Eb clarinet barrel is a replacement barrel that changes the mouthpiece-to-upper-joint geometry to improve reed compatibility and playing behavior on Eb clarinet. This Backun Cutback design is for Eb clarinetists who want to use readily available Bb clarinet reeds on an Eb mouthpiece without trimming, and who are looking for improved intonation flexibility and a more stabilized tone through all registers.
This 42.5mm Cocobolo Standard Fit barrel is commonly chosen by doubling professionals, orchestral and wind ensemble players, and pit musicians who need consistent response and predictable pitch. Many players also pair it with the Backun Eb Bell to further control the Eb clarinet’s naturally bright, reactive feel.
Common Questions About The Backun Cutback Eb Clarinet Barrel
Can I really use Bb clarinet reeds on an Eb mouthpiece with this barrel?
Yes. The cutback design is intended to allow Bb clarinet reeds to seat properly on an Eb mouthpiece so you can play without trimming reeds.
Which Eb clarinets does the Standard Fit barrel work with?
The Standard Fit model is designed to pair with Backun, Buffet, Yamaha, Leblanc, and Selmer USA Eb clarinets including Centered Tone, 10G, and Series 9. Selmer Paris Eb clarinets require the Selmer Paris fit model from Backun; the Standard Fit model is not compatible.
