Lumière Barrels

As far as I know this product is great. But my child is still in middle school, and I do not know how soon, she will be skilled enough to take advantage of professional pieces like this. But my child is happy for my gift.

This is a 56.5 mm barrel for a Yamaha CSGiii. The stock barrels that come with the horn are 54 and 55mm. This is the ONLY aftermarket barrel I could find for the CSG. It preserves the excellent intonation of the instrument and gives a sound which is slightly different from the 55mm, not better or worse, just different. The bottom socket is not quite long enough to allow the barrel to seat firmly on the top joint, but that's not a big deal. I tried it on my CSG A clarinet, where it tunes badly. But that horn is a first generation CSG.

The Lumiere Barrel is the best! The difference in tone quality is superb! I recommend this barrel highly! Also, the warranty is great. My barrel cracked and they sent out a replacement right away - no questions asked. Great customer service!
