Re: Backun Alpha

I own a Backun Alpha. I also own a Backun Traditional bell in cocobolo with voicing groove, a cocobolo Fatboy barrel, a grenadilla MoBa barrel, and a Scott synthetic barrel, among others.

Some of these accessories really botched up the tuning of the Alpha and none of them did much to improve the response or timbre.

In my experience, carefully matching a mouthpiece and reeds to the Alpha is all you really need to do to get the very best from it--and its best is very, very good indeed.

Cheers,
Greg
