Re: How can I darken/warm my sound without changing equipment?

I know you have stipulated you don't want to change equipment, but !

If ever you run out of other options and want to try, I was very pleased with results obtained by changing barrels. I love the substantiel vintage Selmer sound and in general a darker sound for my own personal satisfaction. But for group playing I have a recent RC Prestige that makes everything so much easier, and, most important, reliable in that setting. Still, I wanted a bit more heft to my sound and got a used backum barril that did the trick and for the cost of 3 boxes of reeds. Didn't have to change anything else, reeds, mp or playing habits.
