 Re: a synthetic barrel that won't lose to a wooden barrel

I may have shared this but I remember being at a music festival in 2005 and Phil Muncy's people came to visit. There were certain barrels that were all the rage at the time and most of the studio was prepared to shell out the big bucks on them. They were definitely fantastic however we were dumb founded at how amazing Muncy's plain black synthetic barrels were. They were best in house in ever aspect and only 50 dollars each.

I played on them until I found I was having some serious issues when playing Scheherazade with an orchestra. Somehow I felt like my pitch was too stable and didn't travel with the orchestra as the temperature in the room fluctuated. It was about this time Mr. Muncy started making his Muncy/Buffet barrels made of wood. They felt the same except I had more versatility in pitch.

Doesn't that sound like such a strange problem to have?
