Yeah Ed, I knew the Legere thing would come up. In fact yes, I did try it with a trusty Luyben and European Signature combo (can't help that....it's what I use). Of course Jonathan and his friend used their own set-ups and I assume cane was involved.
The other part of that to which I can attest is that the Copeland barrel clearly played better than my Greenline (Greenline R13 used in trial) barrel. Once home I went back to a delrin barrel I own from another manufacturer (don't want to bash, but well known) and that one is much less impressive than the Greenline barrel that came with my horn and I used in the test.
For the record, I did NOT play up to pitch on either because the lengths of both the Greenline barrel that came with my horn and the Copeland barrel are only standard at a 66mm length. So I was only evaluating resonance, response and dynamic volume.
I also wanted to say that I did NOT read the link I put above until now, I just wanted to show the barrel. I don't know for sure if the Delrin is only prototype right now. Also, the wood version was good (and the difference may be another example of what one player may prefer over another player). But I personally I was more fond of the delrin result. I guess you'd have to ask Jonathan if they are yet available for purchase.
