These extensions impact more than the long-tube notes for your clarinet. You will feel the difference throughout the entire range. Placed between the lower joint and the bell, these extensions help focus and control the sound and response while adding more density and core to the sound. It will also help the twelfths between low E/F and B/C. Credit to Clark W. Fobes for his wonderful innovation for Eb clarinet extensions years ago, these are my adaptations to translate the acoustic advantages over to your Bb and A clarinets. Also, if you’ve ever wanted your Bb clarinet to get closer in overall warmth to your A clarinet, this is the ticket!
The Traditional version features a straight-wall exterior and offers more focus and "ping" compared to the Bold version. The Bold version, with added exterior mass and a slightly more bulbous shape, rounds out the sound and response, creating a darker and more flexible quality.
The extension's tenon uses o-rings instead of cork to connect it to the bell. The o-rings or the bell socket can be lubricated using cork grease for additional ease when attaching joints. Please apply cork grease if the fit to your instrument's bell is tight when brand new.
Available in both 3D Blackwood and 3D Mahogany Wood. Eb extensions can be made for Buffet, Selmer, Yamaha, and Uebel instrument makes by selecting from the dropdown menu. If you have an irregular brand, use the contact page to ensure socket measurements will fit.
