Selmer RI intonation

Author: Kas585

I purchased a Selmer RI L2358 at a yard sale in the original case for a whopping $20. It had apparently just been overhauled because everything was sparkling with all new corks and pads. It has the lined barrel. and the only flaw was a small chip in the bottom tenon where the bell fits that doesn't affect the fit. Everything is tight, and it plays like a dream, but the darn thing is so sharp, getting it to be close to 440 the barrel falls off.

The barrel it came with, which matched the instrument is 63mm. Trying different barrels, it looks like I need a 69mm to get it there.

Is this a common thing on these? I'd hate to go out and get an aftermarket barrel only to find it trashes the intonation for the rest of the instrument.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I really love the way it plays, but not everything is a solo...
