Polaris Adjustable Clarinet Barrel

SKU:

per item
  • Naturally aged and dried African Blackwood
  • 4 point ring that allows for easily measured and repeatable adjustments, marked in .25mm increments from 64mm to 68mm
  • Single twist smooth mechanism, using a double metal sleeve / socket to help prevent dimensional changes from influencing ring motion
  • Inverted taper bore for increased response, better intonation, and ease of projection



*A slightly larger bore can be made available, similar to our Corbin Traditional bore but with different taper, giving a slightly wider side that has more focus on the upper partials. For the adjustable barrel, we do recommend the stock Polaris bore for the most common instruments, but if you are interested in our custom bore you can send us a message.


*We are currently OUT OF STOCK of cocobolo barrels as these were a very special limited run.

The Polaris adjustable clarinet barrel is manufactured from a whole piece of naturally aged grenadilla wood. Patent-pending technology with a unique internal design allow the clarinetist to adjust pitch with a center ring mechanism. Four indicators milled on the ring allow for easily repeatable adjustments, with marks every .25mm.  There is no tenon gap created by pulling out the barrel to lower pitch, allowing for a more resonant, connected sound and reducing the possibility of leaking when adjusting. The length is adjustable from 64mm to 68mm and works for both Bb and A clarinets with "standard" size tenons (Buffet, Selmer Paris, Yamaha, etc.)

Bore
The Polaris Adjustable Barrel bore employs an inverted taper that helps to improve intonation, especially between the twelfths, as well as response and overall "focus" of the sound. There is a good balance of highs and lows, not too "dark" or "bright," but of course this is subjective depending on the player and their set-up.

Plating
The Polaris Adjustable barrel is available in 4 different platings. Although we believe the bore dimensions, material, and overall mass of the barrel play a larger role in the sound, many people express similar opinions about certain platings having certain characteristics. These are summarized below. 


Warranty
All barrels hold a 1 year warranty against manufacturer defect, including cracking not caused by user care.
