Rovner’s patented Rectangular Bore Clarinet Barrel just got better: it has a new, lower MSRP of just $89, a new finish for better grip, and it is available in sizes 62-68 for optimal tuning. Made of a durable polymer, it is designed for stability in all weather conditions making it ideal for marching band players. In extreme weather conditions, the barrel length can make the difference. Band directors may employ it as a cost-effective tool for improving overall clarinet performance and boosting student confidence. Woodwind “doublers” and experienced players notice improved intonation, more even scales, increased clarity of throat tones, improved articulation and better altissimo. Simply rotate the barrel to personalize the playing experience and dial in the most dynamic response.
