You say you tested this E10. I've never seen one, but I assume it's below the E-11. Does the same mouthpiece and reed setup play in tune on your Tradition? Are the aftermarket barrels you tried longer than 65mm? Has anyone else that you know tried this E10?

You don't give much in the way of specifics about the instrument or what you've tried to bring it down to pitch. It could be a bore problem, as Ken suggests. It could be that the 65mm barrel is too short.

Without knowing what exactly you want the E10 for, since you apparently own a Buffet Tradition, I'd say don't buy the E10 if a longer barrel doesn't solve the problem (although you didn't say you want to buy it). Key heights can't all be that far off and the instrument still be playable.
