Re: The Barrel Question

Hi,

I use Scott barrels and one specific one solved a pesty upper clarion pitch (way too sharp) problem on my Leblanc Dynamic 2. Bob Scott said this would help and it did.

The question, which I have askde on this BB before though, is what changes, tapers, etc change what with a barrel. The barrel-makers are very quiet about their art, maybe for fear of duplication which is a reasonable thing to expect.

However, inquiring minds (mine for one) would like to know what kinds of tweeks do what. Without giving away company secrets "what does what and why" is still my question. Please don't refer me to Clarinet Acoustics. I just need a layman's definition and using my Dad's old line "because I said so" will not suffice.
