Re: Moennig -vs- stock buffet barrels

Thank You for the responses.
Ken- I have been trying a 65 Moennig- my first impression was that it was not doing enough for the throat tones, and that the second register was a bit sharper. The more I am playing it, the better it seems to be getting. pulling out the middle joint seems to be giving me the results I am looking for (pulling out anything besides the barrel is something I am new to)-and it does seem that is working better than the stock buffet I was trying (today, at least). It is going to be awhile before I commit to a barrel, but I am hoping to avoid any wood removal on the newer horns.
Incidentally, the measurements of the barrels I have been working with are as follows.
10g 66- 588.5, 581
Moennig 65- 587, 578.5
" 66- 586.5, 578
" 67- 586.5-578
Buffet stock 66-586.5, 587.5
Alseg- How far are you from Philly?
