SEGGELKE clarinet BARRELS
sound influencers

In our Seggelke clarinet workshop, everything revolves around offering you the best possible sound potential. We cordially invite you to discover our collection of high-quality barrels and embark on your musical journey with us. Let us shape the sound of your clarinet together and create an instrument that will raise your musical expressiveness to a new level.

The barrel is the important link between the tone generator (mouthpiece/reed) and the resonator (upper/lower joint with bell) of the clarinet. It can influence the sound and playing in several ways: the basic tuning can be influenced within a small bandwidth (approx. 3 – 4 Hz), the intonation between registers can be adjusted, compatibility to different mouthpieces can take place. Also the sound behavior and the blowing resistance can be regulated to a certain extent.

The right
Mouthpiece DOES IT

The mouthpiece plays a decisive role in the blowing resistance and intonation of the instrument. For Seggelke clarinets, we recommend playing our instruments with mouthpieces with the bore we have modified. These customized mouthpieces bring out the full potential of your clarinet and let your musical interpretation shine.
