CARBEC Single Resonator Clarinet Barrel
Direct from Italy, the CARBEC Single Resonator Clarinet Barrel is a complete reimagining of what a modern barrel can do for your sound. If you are tired of dealing with the inconsistencies, warping, and changing dimensions of traditional wood, this barrel is the ultimate high-tech upgrade for the modern clarinetist.
Instead of traditional woven carbon fiber (which can heavily dampen vibrations), the CARBEC features a unique unidirectional carbon fiber body where the strands run vertically through the barrel. This allows your sound wave to travel exceptionally fast and clean, resulting in an insanely quick response and immediate articulation. To add acoustic complexity back into your tone, this "Single Resonator" model features a specialized metal resonating ring at the transition point. While the carbon fiber creates a neutral, highly efficient core, the metal ring acts as a reflector, adding a beautiful "ping," extra harmonics, and brilliant projection to your sound.
Key Features:
-
Unidirectional Carbon Fiber: Unlike standard woven carbon fiber, the vertical strands allow vibrations to pass through incredibly fast, offering a warm, elegant sound with flawless pitch stability.
-
Single Metal Resonator: Features a meticulously crafted metal ring (available in silver, gold, or rose gold plating) that adds rich harmonics, projection, and a brilliant shimmer to the edges of your tone.
-
Lightning-Fast Articulation: The highly efficient material drastically improves your response, making fast staccato passages and difficult leaps feel effortless.
-
Professional Fit: Crafted in Italy and designed to seamlessly fit most standard French-bore Bb and A clarinets (including Buffet Crampon, Selmer, Backun, and most Yamaha models).
