I am looking for something that slightly reduces the inherent resistance in this model and allows me to achieve a bit of a wider spectrum of overtones (more "ring"). The stock barrels are not bad, but I find the response to be a bit tubby and the sound can tend towards dullness. I also find the upper register LH to be flatter and the RH to be sharper on these instruments, so anything that could slightly correct those tendencies would be fantastic, but I am most concerned about sound and response.
m1964, Buffet doesn't sell Légende/Tradition barrels individually, do they?
LFabian, unlike on my old R13 Prestiges (for which bore the Moennig barrel was designed), I feel increased resistance and unevenness when I use Moennig on my Tradition.
edit: Seabreeze, you pretty much hit the nail on the head. I switched because I love the focus/center of the sound on these instruments, the legato feels very liquid, and generally the intonation is much improved from my R13s (despite the issue I mentioned above). I just find myself missing the overtones at times, and though I appreciate the added resistance in this model, I could stand for a tiny bit less.
