 Re: Vito V-40 vs 7214

I bought my Vito V-40 in 2003 March shortly before they became no longer produced. I use soft reeds so I thought that it sounded too flat. But at least it is more amenable to shortening the barrel quite a lot and retaining good intonation while going over the break and also throughout without too much undercutting of various toneholes. This is because of the cylinder style of bore, I suppose. Get a custom barrel that is shaped like a cone that gets bigger as it goes downward to really get the most direct kind of emmision of the lower clarion bell tones; but I always like to do that on any other instrument too.
