Re: Rough barell

First make sure the intonation is ok. Ask someone who has a GREAT sound to try it on a compatible horn.
Rough grain inside a barrel is NOT a detriment to pitch or sound.
As a custom barrel maker, I was once "dinged" on this BB by someone who purchased a "rough bore" barrel from me. They had NO gripes about the pitch or sound, but made it seem like I produced inferior goods. Since then, I reject rough bores that arise in the workshop, and burnish all the smooth ones. It costs me time and money, and unfortunately it is a needless waste.
