Hi there.
I have been playing on Chadash barrels for about 2-3 years. I find that
they make it easier to produce a clean sound. I also find that the
intonation is VERY good. I don't really understand all that stuff about
bore(sp?) measurements. I have tried out some of the Meonig barrels and
find that the intonation is not as consistant as the Chadash barrel. I
laso realize that people like different types of sound, equiptment and
"feeling to things such as: reeds(hard or soft ect.) .I assume you have
tried some of each barrel.I recomend the Chadash highly. I find it to be
better and have not had probls with it at all.
I hope I have helped.
