Re: Barrels

Some makers use a different bore and taper for Bb and A barrels, while others say their barrels can be used on either. Of those that I have used, generally the A bore is slightly smaller. I have always found it works best for me to use different barrels on each. I have found response, evenness of tone and intonation to be slightly better for me in that configuration. It all depends on what works for you and your set up.
