Re: How to shim or sleeve a barrel tenon?

Maybe best to define my use of "on the fly"!

It's probably say easier what is is not - it is not changing barrels within a piece during a performance.

But it is deciding to change barrels between pieces in a performance or when changing between A and Bb.

At the moment I am trying to decide between 2 mouthpieces, one of which plays sharper than the other.

Also performing temperature does vary a lot so being able to swap barrels securely would definitely be good.

I like Steven Ocone's suggestion as I have some of the JL Smith flute head joint fitting strips for another project. Will definitely give that a go.
