 Loose barrel solution that isn't plumber's tape?
Author: Musikat

I have two barrels I want to be able to use interchangeably. One is a MoBa and the other is the Behn adjustable (for orchestra). The problem is the MoBa barrel is very loose fitting. I had my tech put thicker cork on the top joint The Behn still fit, but snuggly. He warned me that as the cork compressed over time and from using the adjustable barrel the MoBa would get loose again, and it has.

My question is has anyone come up with any kind of solution that would fit inside the barrel socket of the bigger barrel to make it fit more securely, but not impact the cork so another barrel could still be used normally? Any kind of tape, for example? A thin strip of wood that could be glued on? I'm looking for a cheap DIY solution, not paying a tech to do it.
