Yes. I had read good things about it (possibly your post) so went for it. Sorry, I may have confused you. I am using the shorter barrel (45) - the longer barrel is about 47 (I don't have it to hand).

I am playing around with mouthpieces now. Interestingly, I was using a B45 (like Chris) and the best result I have had so far is a bog standard Vandoren - I am not sure what sort as the writing has worn off (!) but I think it might have been supplied with a cheap plastic model somewhere along the line.

The B below altissimo C is certainly flat - my teacher tried it out and pronounced it so, so this isn't just my dodgy hearing. What made me concerned was that I was playing flute part in a trio and I seemed out of line with the others, so came home and did some measuring with the tuner. That's the story so far.
