How a barrel's shape effects it's sound?

Recently I made a video comparing Schwenk and Seggelke barrels that contain the same bore, but feature different shapes/ring structures.

Has anyone else tried these out? What were your thoughts? Anecdotally, I have seen them being used by increasing amount of NYC clarinetists over the last few years.

While this was meant to be just a fun, cursory experiment, it made me wonder if there are any in-depth studies on this kind of subject? Dr. Mark Cramer at Tennessee Tech University did a study on how barrel material effects sound, response, etc. (http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/uncg/f/Cramer_uncg_0154D_11638.pdf, but there seems to be little else out there on this kind of subject!
