Re: Old Buffet barrel cracks again

I have owned a 21K series Bb Buffet and the "choke" was only slightly narrower than the UJ entrance. They were nice horns.
You have a unique barrel, there.
It must do something for your set up to elicit such warm and cozy feelings.
If your sockets are too tight, maybe that is what is leading to the cracking, but the "choke" itself would not.
If this barrel works for you, you might want to check something of interest:
See if there is a gap between the bore of the barrel and the top of the UJ bore (and also in the mouthpiece-barrel joinery). A gap can negate the "choke" making the whole business of the "choke" a non issue.
