Re: How to reamer mouthpiece/barrel bores

Congrats on the Rossi's, Hiroshi, its one of my desires, BUT, age and my principal playing of Bass cl, influence me otherwise! I hope BBoarders with more knowledge and experience than I on mp/barrel bore-matching, will chime in. I have had experience similar to yours re: resistance, ?solved? by trial /error matching [dedicating] certain mps to certain cls, and ONLY on old cl barrels even considered enlarging the top of the barrel, believing that the maker had reasons for his sizing. This might be some of the philosophy that Hans Moennig applied to his barrels for "ailing" R 13's. I'd suggest discussing these questions w: Rossi and several of our skilled mp makers, before attempting any changing. Others, please HELP. Don

Thanx, Mark, Don
