Was bored. And i stumbled on this site. Gimmicky? for sure. reminds me of the claripatch but in the form of going in the barrel. competition for the power barrel?
anyone try these? or want to comment about how this might influence the overall tuning?
and at $35, it might be worth trying. hmmmm........

that interesting but I can't quite make out the picture.
I've always wondered what would happen if we put one of those Tornado car air filter type mechanisms inside the air flow what would happen

I guess that is on the same concept

Or wrapping magnets around your car's fuel line to improve gas mileage. Yeah, right......................................
You'd have more luck using a divining rod to find that one good reed in a box of Vandorens.

Wow, something new to introduce into your barrel after all of the famous barrel gurus have spent so much time developing the quadruple upside down back reverse tapers to improve our playing !!! Dave it is good to see that your arsenal of humor bombs is still well stocked but you may have hit on the best new invention of the year - the divining rod idea for finding a good reed is really your best idea of 2007 - when will they be available (they must be individually flow wrapped and good for only one use because a permanent divining rod would soon saturate the market of enthusiastic single reed players) ?

Dave - So maybe DEG should come out with an magnetized Iron barrel instead of their aluminum one !!

I ran across one of these on "the" auction site a while back, at a much cheaper than list price.
I tried it. I don't use it. If it did anything at all, it wasn't enough to compensate for the hassle of keeping up with it, and positioning it, etc.
Little piece of flimsy plastic that, as far as I could tell, did nothing.

Looking at the picture and description, doesn't this do the same thing as a "polycylindrical" bore as there is a "step" created from both??
