Subj: [kl] LeBlanc barrels

I'm considering putting a replacement barrel on the Noblet. Probably an
"original" Accubore, the one with the ribs. However, I see that these
come in varying lengths. International Music Suppliers list them as 60,
62, 64, 65, and 66mm. I know, of course, this will affect tuning.
Problem is I haven't the vaguest notion of the length of the original
barrel, and the specs on LeBlanc's website are about as useful as their
offer to tell you how old your instrument is based on the serial number
(no, I never heard).

Anyone (1) want to admit they own a Noblet and (2) have a hint?
