Re: The Barrel Question

I currently use a Bay 66mm for my Bb (R-13). Not many people that I know like them, but I've gotten great results with it. I've found it offers a little more edge to my sound while keeping it dark and commanding with great projection. Articulation is much easier with the Bay barrel as well. I use a Moennig 65mm on my A and get the same results.

Having said that I will say this; it isn't necessarily the make of the barrel but what it acheives for you. As you can see from my set up a Bay gets me where I want to by as well as a Moennig, but on two different horns. Try them all and see which one you like best.

Good luck and don't drive yourself crazy with the choices!
