Re: Another MP Question

Thanks a lot, fellows, for your thoughtful advice.

I failed to mention that I already use a 65 mm Moennig barrel instead of the 66. I would've thought that would have taken care, at least to a degree, of the problem, but it didn't to the extent that I thought it should.

I might now try a 64 mm barrel, or I might try a non 13-series mp, or both...probably I should try the latter first.

At any rate, I think Karl has it right...it's going to be a trial and error thing, and at best, it may be somewhat of a compromise. I just hate that I'm always flat at the E and F throat notes, while any of the higher notes are right in tune.

Oh, I didn't mention that low E and Low F are always flat, but I think that's pretty much a given anyway, and I realize that doesn't matter as much as the E4 and F4 from what I've heard.
