Comparison video - Backun Barrels for Clarinet

[@earthangelbaby_]

I played the saint saens sonata in my senior recital! I love that piece. Made me super happy to hear in this video.

[@tfmatos1]

Sorry I cannot distinguish (yet) all details of your sound description... You always play beautifully!!!!! It is good to hear you playing bacause I realize where I am: 20 light years away!!! But I am still walking step by step (beginner player) ! Thank you so much!

Toseli Matos I’m glad to hear that😃😊 I really hope you’ll become a clarinetist even better than me 💪🏼

[@tfmatos1]

@ I will be really happy playing only 10% of your capability! You are amazing! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you for your continued encouragement!!!

[@Jaujau933]

It's a dilemma, no it's all in your head sweetie ! If there's an intonation problem it's your clarinet not the barrel. What a pretty lady. 😊

[@D.NogueraMusic]

You 're right about 1st impressions and "getting used to." That applies to other instruments. Thank U Selin, these comparatives help a lot 👌

Thank you so much, happy to hear that 😊🙏🏻

[@nath-wzs8622]

Really nice video. I always have struggle to choose new material! You gave me very good advice. Thank you!

It's so nice to hear that! Good luck for the next time then 🤩

[@buzzytpt]

Thank you so much i can't wait to see it ....Roy

[@jimis3167]

You should play with stock clarinet's barrel at the end of the video to see the difference..

[@jimis3167]

11:03 Maybe If you'd put even lighter reed you could play more relaxed on the 3rd barrel?

[@billducker7404]

You sound good on them. You choose an stick to you as all this can be a mine field! Best wishes with your playing. I think Seline you’ll do well on whatever instrument you play on you’ve got a God given gift. Do what you feel comfortable on I’ve certainly enjoyed your playing during this lockdown or is it lock up? Sorry Bond English man’s joke! God bless you may you be successful and also enjoy your career- Bill - UK

Dearest Selin, I love your videos. They are very GOOD, EDUCATIONAL and HELPFUL. Can you talk about your Privilege clarinet ? how it compares to your Signature and other clarinets you have tried .....i recently purchased a Selmer Presence which i like, but i still have the sound and the feel of the Privilege in my head.....Also what can you say about double lip? ......Your faithful FAN .....Roy

buzzytpt hello dear Roy, you read my mind. I just talk to some other clarinetists and they also asked me about my Privilège so the next comparison video will be about it for sure 🤩 thank you for your interest, stay tuned⭐️

[@billducker7404]

Pps I use Seline On the R 13 Clarinets The Moba barrels but I also Play Peter Eaton Elite instruments and I would never dream of using any other barrels than the ones he makes which are fantastic for the instrument. I’m sure you will make a wise choice for yourself. Bill

[@ciceronepinto]

Boa explicação, excelente

[@AntonMoiseyenko]

I prefer the 2nd one, but Privelege is great by itself :)

Interesting! Thanks for the comment Anton!

[@patrickfillebeen8527]

bonjour, y a t-il des barils Backun s'adaptant sur le modèle Yamaha CSG? les barils sont plus courts de 10mm environ; merci

[@Isaiahstetson]

Your staccato is impressive

@@Isaiahstetson thank you🙏🏻

[@fabricefinotti6035]

Dear Selin is Backun make different shape inside (hole shape) made specifficaly for Selmer or Buffet Crampon or can you use it for both?

I got these barrels from one of Backun's sponsors and we contacted Backun together to ask if it'd fit etc. But yes, they make different barrels as far as I know. I can give you his contact if you need to ask about it :)

[@fabricefinotti6035]

@ Thank u Seline. It's precious to have someone like you. You create a link very interesting with your professional approach of music, instrument. You understood that sharing is not loosing a part of yourself. Keep it!

@@fabricefinotti6035 Thank you so much Fabrice! I'm happy that I finally have time to work on KZbin. I appreciate your words. Greetings 🙏🏻

One barrel can't be used for all systems. Selmer clarinets are different in design, and a specific barrel must be used for Selmer. (Also, for hi-end Selmers like Privilege, all clarinet parts are hand-picked and paired.) Or else, there will be problems with intonation, tuning, tone stability, resistance, etc. This video demonstrated all of these problems.

[@jimis3167]

Those 3 Backun barrels are all 65mm??? You currently use stock barrels: 65mm in the winter and 66mm in the summer???

[@zvonimirtosic6171]

A good lesson in this video: when it comes to hi-end clarinet models, with parts specifically paired, user can't improve on them (or swap parts randomly) without throwing the instrument out of balance. A player can't "improve" on Selmer Privilege, Buffet Tosca, Privilege lines etc.: they are the results of decades of manufacturing expertise. Improvements with parts swap are done on student and middle-range instruments, nice old clarinets (that have no more parts available). For such clarinets Backun products can be great. But if you break Selmer Privilege or damage your Tosca, don't fix it at home with third party spare parts: get a new instrument.

[@jimis3167]

Have you ever tried Marca premium reeds? Do you like them better than V12s?

I never tried them. I prefer staying with vandoren mouthpiece+vandoren reeds

[@jimis3167]

@ I'm gonna try one when It finally ships(I think It'll take quite some time(Australia to Greece...), I've heard good whings about Marca reeds so, that's why I ordered one premium, It's like the shape of V12...

Georgia Antza I also heard once that Gonzalez reeds are the best... I tried... not the best for me 😅 I don’t like to change materials too much since I got my new clarinets, because I’m happy with my set up :) but if you think you need something better it’d be worth trying 💕

[@jimis3167]

@ I've also tried a Legere european cut 3.50 on my BD5, It was meh! I'll exchange It to a signature series 3.50 which I'll be able to try with M/O ligature,(I couldn't put M/O on european cut reed cause It's very wide..)

Georgia Antza I don’t appreciate Legère reeds either... I hope you’ll find the best one for you!

[@gerardkuntzmann21]

Je suis sans doute très en retard et my english is not rich ... Sur votre essai, le Moba cocobolo est au- dessus du lot ... J'ai deux clarinettes Buffet ( RC , Festival ) et une Selmer Rėcital , et des barrils, pavillons Backun dans les deux standards , comme vous le montrez, un barril Moba Selmer ne "fit" pas sur Buffet , mais pour un essai pour voir, ça peut se monter : Buffet 65 mm sur Selmer 64.5... J' ai donc voulu réveiller un peu ma Selmer conçue pour être ronde par G Dangain , fallait un son de clarinette allemande à l'époque en l'équipant d un set Moba barril et pavillon . En essayant, le Moba grenadille était moins joli que le cocobolo, mais plus brillant et flatteur , mais puisque je voulais la réveiller ...Mais tout dépend du bec : Un M30 ou BD5 et un Pomarico ancien ou récent , et tout change . Et à la fin , pour éviter les migraines, je remets parfois le stockbarrel ... C'est grave ?:-)))) Ma vénérable Selmer : barril Moba grenadille, pavillon Moba grenadille, bec pomarico Wizard, ligature Silverstein anches Pilgerstofer ou Vando classiques ... Et comme dit , chacun fait ce qu'il veut ...

[@tpark89]

Yeah.. their stuff is just too weird in terms of intonation and blending for me. At one point I really wanted to like their stuff but just didn't work for me on any clarinets.

Yes! they did a really job with their clarinets and materials, but how I don't know if they really match the other brands!

[@zvonimirtosic6171]

Depends what instruments you play. If you think you can improve on higher-end clarinets., then forget it. Higher-end clarinet models have parts specifically paired, they are like finely tuned sports cars - player can't "improve" on them without throwing them out of balance. You really must work in *clarinet manufacturing* for decades to be able to "improve yourself" such models.

[@BennyGoodman1977]

Ne changez pas de barillet... C'est moche en plus! Je suis Selmer mais plutôt dans les vintages. Mais. J'aime la SIGNATURE que je possède et la St Louis pas mal... Après,je penche plutôt sur Buffet. Franchement,les clarinettes sont parfaites en sortant d'usine. Changer de barillet oui,mais de même marque et de même modèle. C'est important. Merci et à bientôt

Benny Goodman Je n’aime pas changer non plus parce que mes clarinettes marchent super bien. Mais c’est vrai que ça marche mieux avec un autre barillet pour certaines... alors je donne juste mon avis et après c’est à eux de choisir ce qu’ils vont faire.

[@BennyGoodman1977]

@ Oui absolument,après les gens font comme ils veulent... Ma Signature pas besoin. Sur ma Buffet Rc,j'ai le barillet Moening de chez Buffet et un autre Moening en plastique. Les deux vont accentuer le centrage. Rare sont les fois ou je les joues. Merci de m'avoir répondu et excuser moi si je vous ai paru trop affirmatif😆 Je vous suis depuis le début et j'aime bien ce que vous faites. Aller,bonne continuation😉

@ tsk tsk 😅

[@jimis3167]

Have you ever tried Backun fatboy?

Georgia Antza I don’t have it and I don’t remember very well ...
