Re: Why don't barrel vendors provide bore measurements?

I would personally love to know the measurements of the new Buffet Icon barrel - it's a total mystery to me.

* Buffet's engineers describe it as a "conical bore"

* The diagrams have it labeled as an inverse conical bore

* Those same diagrams display it as a conical bore

* The name "ICON" probably comes from "Inverse-conical"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg3s1ajfBMM (see 25 seconds into this video).

Is it or is it not conical!?

All I really know is that they have an amazing ability to open up my tone, particularly working wonders on the throat notes down to F, E and D.

Anyone able to shed light on these barrels? I wouldn't mind turning a mock-up one in my workshop.
