Re: Chadash Barrel, which size?

Author: Bob Bernardo  Date:   2018-05-17 08:47 Did you ask Guy (Chadash) about his adjustable barrels? I tested them and found them to be pretty decent. They are lined with a composite material so they stay true to pitch. The sound is also pleasing. It's really perfect for Buffet horns and has a reverse taper, which I strongly feel is a must on most Buffet lines. Mainly the R13's. Dislikes are they don't fit into the barrel slot of your case. Not a big deal if you have a case that holds a lot of extras. The cost seems high, but not really if you consider that the barrel is adjustable. $300 to $350. So you'd spend this on 2 barrels such as a 66mm and a 67mm and then a 64mm if the orchestra tunes high. Sound quality should actually improve. I sold mine when I went to Yamaha's but I really liked them and they do hold their value very well. Other brands don't, such as Backun barrels on ebay can be found as low as $25. Call Guy directly. Tell him I sent you. Maybe he will charge you a shade less. If he charges you a lot call him back a few days later! His prices change daily! Ask him to send a few. For whatever reason there are pitch differences and tone quality differences. Designer of - Vintage 1940 Cicero Mouthpieces and the La Vecchia mouthpieces Yamaha Artist 2015
