 Re: RS Berkeley Adj Barrel problem
Author: Paul Aviles

Maybe that particular barrel was not machined correctly? I have an RS Berkeley measuring 24mm in diameter that fits great on my LeBlanc Opus and Yamaha CSG (but not short enough for that), so I assume would also be fine on a Buffet R13 as well (all the typical brands).



As for embouchure, I would prefer to play comfortably and just tweak the equipment. If you need an odder, shorter size for not much money I highly recommend the Chinese wooden barrels on EBay. They are actually quite well made and work great. You do have to wait about four months for shipping because they actually arrive in the US ............ on a ship.


I have to admit being drawn to the idea of getting one of the Brad Behn adjustables, but I am pretty old school and have not found a problem with getting in the ballpark with a standard barrel.
