Adjustable Clarinet Barrel

The Royal Global adjustable barrel features an innovative patented mechanism combining a premium aged grenadilla wood bore with an all new eco-friendly material exclusive to Royal Global. Many years in development, the material is created from mixing grenadilla dust with strong fibers that result in an almost identical density to grenadilla. 

This process allows Royal Global to reduce manufacturing waste and create a more durable, crack-resistant product that will last for many years.

By manufacturing the top section and bore with grenadilla wood and the base with the new ECO material, the Royal Global adjustable barrel maintains a wooden bore that helps achieve the warm, rich, and vibrant tone that many players prefer.

The length is adjustable from 64mm to 68mm and works for both Bb and A clarinets with "standard" size tenons (Royal Global, Buffet, Selmer Paris, Yamaha, Backun, 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 believe that the plating does have an impact on the sound.

We suggest choosing the plating that speaks to your preferred aesthetic.
