OK, I own a pair of the original CSGs so I do kinda sorta know what I'm talking about.

The barrels were (as stated above) designed specific to a horn with longer top joint (hence the shorter length). This design principle has a greater advantage to tuning because it puts the adjusting length FURTHER from the first notes at the top of the horn and evens out the end result (a bit more). So this is a GOOD THING.

Yamaha had to make a decision on which precise length barrel to send out with the horns and they probably goofed a little. So yes as we have discussed on this forum in the past, it is best to get the shortest version Yamaha makes for it (whether you exchange it for what you have or buy a new one outright is up to you......personally in the Summer, when the temps are higher and I'm using a higher pitch mouthpiece, i like having the longer barrel around).

There are top professionals (David Shifrin being amongst them) who play these horns. They have an exceptionally even scale and are quite unusually well made considering what odd quality cuts you see from Buffet on their R13s these days.

I say keep the horn..........or sell it to me.
