Re: Pyne Barrel

"but it did not perform the miracles reported by some folks with their new barrels."

I think it's worth pointing out that no barrel ever does that for anyone. Whenever a new piece of equipment is introduced to one's setup, everyone goes nuts over it for a short period, but eventually their own playing tendencies creep back in. The only real way to improve is to work at it. For this reason alone, I've never found high-priced synthetic barrels to be worth anything.

As far as what Brenda said about tone, I feel the same way. But I also believe a lot of it is in our heads, just like mouthpieces that we think have a better sound because they either feel a certain way, or because they are of a better "pedigree."
