Re: Moennig -vs- stock buffet barrels

I am getting my self a new short barrel I think. My current 650 sounds (stock with my Festival Buffet) so poor compared to my 660 I want to replace it. I need to have the short barrel as my latest embouchure change has me playing flat (on a Festival!) even when pretty warmed up. What barrels should I consider, what intonation issues do they have and what are the expected tonal differences.

I note that the inside of the 650 is very rough compared to my 660, is there something that can be done about that. I'm pretty sure the roughness makes for a less pleasing tone.

Since it's not useful to me as is I'm willing to futz around with it, they don't have a barrel test like the famous wall and reed test.
