Does anyone have the OEM barrel length for the Yamaha YCL-20? I recently acquired a 20 in mint condition that, inexplicably, included a completely trashed barrel from a Bundy. Thanks in advance!

My YCL-24 has a 67mm barrel, so I'd suspect the YCL-20 would have the same.

Just measured mine with my verniers and it's 66.8mm.

Thank you both so much!
Though I bought this instrument to resell, I must say that it's really growing on me as I give it a thorough CLA. The refined response, tone, and tuning are going to make it hard to part with.

I would try to find the stock barrel from the ycl 20. It's a pretty awesome inverse conical barrel that fixes most of the tuning problems and darkens and fills out the sound.

Hmm, some time ago I bought a lot of 64.5mm Original Yamaha Barrels (Plastic); must check if they have that taper thing as well. Interesting...
