Re: Legere euro cut and shorter barrel

I find that a shorter barrel is not necessary. Here's the trick - play on the hardest strength that you can get a good tone on. I love the fluidity and smoothness of the 3 1/2 strength, but alas flat in the throat and altissimo. If I move up to a 3 3/4 or a 4, I no longer have intonation problems.

This is of course dependent on the tip opening of your of your mouthpiece. I find success with the Legere European cut is to use a very close tip. The mouthpiece that I am currently performing on has a .98 mm tip with a medium length facing. A #4 slaps right on there and plays beautifully with none of the intonation problems you are facing.
