 Re: R13 with a Selmer Recital barrel

I spent most of the morning at the Sax and Woodwind shop and I am now the proud owner of a 65mm Backun Fatboy in Cocobolo!

I was wrong. They had a selection of barrels and I tried the lot. The MoBa's sounded fantastic, rich and powerful, and looked stunning but they had much more resistance than the Fatboy. Not a huge amount and still less than the original BC barrel but still noticeable. If I was more experienced I would have gone for one of them - and I may still get one in the near-future. At any rate, the Fatboy just blew me away - pun intended.

We tested the tuning on one of their tuner boxes and the results were good. I will recheck it in a couple of months.

I also tested a Backun Traditional bell but I didn't feel that it made much difference to my sound at this stage so I have put it on the backburner.

Thank you all again.
