Re: aftermarket barrel for Noblet 45 eb?

Ken, I almost ordered a 42 mm but I decided it was too risky. On my instrument I would have to be pushed all the way in with a 42 mm barrel to tune to 440. I play in a community band and our band pitch usually creeps up over rehearsal (or starts high sometimes!)

I am pretty happy with the B40, the intonation for me is almost perfect now all the way up to altissimo E. I think a little smaller tip opening would be nice though. I did try a Vandoren 5rv but I hated the sound on it, even though it did help the flatness above E in the altissimo range.

Thanks for the suggestions!
