<< This is getting interesting :).I personally find difference significant
with
normal barrels. That is why I was so surprised when the very people that
make special Buffet and Chadash barrels (at the Buffet factory) say, that
they are identical. Was I misinformed?

Hi Harri,

Who told you that at the factory and what was the situation you have been told
this, was it during the tour or was it from a sales personne. I would like to
know. Like I said the A and Bb bore are different so you have to have
different Barrel to fit on. Now some musician have no problem to play on a Bb
barrel with their A and they are sounding great with it and have no problem.
You have to think to of the dimension and type of bore you are using on your
mouthpiece. Some of the player want to have the same feeling on the BB and the
A and by using the same barrel it helps.

Musically Yours
