Don Y says:

<< I wonder what a person familiar with Walter's playing would have said about the difference in sound from the different barrels........>>

Don, that is indeed what happened. Several people with whow I have played for over five years have come up to me and inquired about the "improvement" in sound.

This included people who play in the Chicago Lyric Opera Orchestra and the Grant Park Symphony, so they are not exactly duffers.

Referring back to Ed Lacy, the barrels in question were made with the same tooling, measurements, and reamers as the others to which they were comparing.

I attribute the "improvement" (how's that Dan?) to the general sound to be, in this case, attributable to the material of the barrel.
