EVO™ Eb barrel – Featuring a unique “small-bore” design, your upper left hand clarion pitch will come down, and your throat notes will have more core. Your sound will be rich and easy to control. Additionally, the Long-Reed-Cutout on one side will allow you to use Bb reeds or German/Austrian reeds without having to cut them short to fit. Eb barrels are available in lengths 42, 43, 44, and 45mm. (42mm recommended as standard length option)
NOTE: EVO barrels feature slightly higher overall intonation than their length would suggest as compared to standard larger bore Buffet barrels. For example, a Buffet 41.5mm barrel has similar overall intonation as EVO 42mm. Please also know that due to EVO's bore voicing, the overall intonation is more even, making the upper right hand notes not as sharp as on other barrels.
