If you knew Guy you would know his opinion is that measurements are not
necessarily something to get all hung up about. He claims it is the total
VOLUME, not the specific measurements, that make the difference. Incidentally,
I just bought two barrels from Guy a couple of weeks ago and I am very
satisfied with what I found. Of course it is best to try many, as with
anything. This will enable you to find the one that feels right for your set
up and your way of playing.
