Re: Reconciling Tuning Rings & Adjustable Barrels

Hey Jarmo:

To Donald's point, and although one player does not even resemble universal acceptance, doesn't Anthony McGill play on a P&S adjustable barrel?

Perhaps whatever sound quality reduction, if any, professional players who use these barrels experience, is offset by their ability to quickly dial in the best overall pitch for their instrument relative to others, over swapping numerous fixed length barrels.

I would think that pros aren't against them as professional models exist in not only the above manufacturer's product offerings but those of Chadash and Behn (recently introduced).

I believe I heard/read, likely here, although I can't find the post, the Kal Opperman could hear the absence of a tuning ring when his students lengthened their air column.
