Subj: [kl] barrels

ceramic, medal, wood of various kinds and colors...

I'm in the market of a barrel. My ensemble tunes to 442Hz, and I am
always 5-20 cents flat on any given day.
I currently own 65mm and 66mm Selmer barrels that I use on a Series
9. I also have a 63mm AccuBore (medal) that I prefer not to use given
tone quality with the thing.

Right now I'm (internet) window shopping. Once I figure out what's
out there and what's available in my area, I plan and going and trying
some out.
For now, I am only looking for information and and personal
experiences. There's a lot of different materials, shapes, designs,
makers, etc. I would like to know what experiences players have with
any that are on the market.

If you can spare a few words, I would greatly appreciate it.
