I made cocobolo barrels for quite a few years.

I always felt that by using a cocobolo barrel you can add warmth and perhaps some additional "complexity" to your sound. I also felt that there was a corresponding loss of projection, however, that did not quite make up for the gain in warmth, especially for orchestral playing.

Alas, several years ago I became quite allergic to the resin in the cocobolo wood and I had to stop making them.

BTW, Allen Segal is right. The 10G barrel should have a reverse taper.
