RE: Leblanc Barrel Length

Hank - You are correct re: bore size [15.0mm], see the threads on Dynamic H and LeBlanc L7. As nearly as I can measure, they are all cylindrical [as opposed to polycyl, conical etc, "modified bores"] possibly for patent-life reasons [Buffet/Carre]. My L7 is about 14.8mm, [it came with 2 barrels, 66 and 64{most used}], and has somewhat diff. 12ths tuning and volume capabilities [per Lee Gibson]. It would be great if Tom Ridenour would comment, please. Your finding a tuning ring is [to me] your solution, you may need another 1 mm one for barrel use as well as between joints to match others pitch. I haven't played my Dyn 2 with others, except for FM radio classics, but havent found significant sharpness. To me, the TOTAL length of the mp + barrel is the important criterion to produce desired pitch [between A= 440 and 444 cps, Hertz]. My mps do vary from 70-73 mm , body [above tenon] to tip. Measure, Don
