Also the reason I suggested Ebay is it's hard to find the correct barrel for older horns. As we know some of these wood horns warp inside, the bores also dry out of course, and we don't often know where the horns lived; meaning were the horns in a dry climate, wet humidity, was the horn taken good care of with routine repairs, or did it sit in a closet for 30 years? With these variables it difficult to determine a perfect barrel other than the length and the given bore size of the instrument. So I do know based on knowledge, a Buffet barrel will not work, so spend as little as possible and hope the person posting, Granto01 will have good luck!
As a Yamaha Artist I had trouble finding the correct barrel for the CSVR A clarinet, but I worked with the barrel maker at Yamaha and we nailed it. It was a reverse taper of 0.010" (per inch.) It's by far the best horn I've ever played on.
