The bore of the barrel makes a big deal of difference. Of course, what barrels works for one person won't neccessarily work for another because of difference in setup. I'm no acoustician, so i can't really explain the whole bore thing with any authority.
Some barrels have double taper kinda like an hourglass shape. Others use a reverse taper. I can't say as i know what the stock barrels have.
Other makers have different exterior contours. Fobes has a significant bulge. Moreso than the standard Buffet barrel. I feel, as does Jerry Hall (who uses a similar countour), that the increased amount of wood adds resonance to the sound.
So yes... barrels are just as personal as mouthpieces.
