 Re: Morrie Backun and the MoBa barrel

Well, my MoBa barrels arrived two days ago, and they did not disappoint. They are an improvement over my traditional Backun barrel from about 5 years ago, which was the best barrel I had ever played. For you barrel skeptics out there - it does make a difference. With these barrels, I detect more power, especially on the lower notes - F and E, and a smoother transition through the throat register, as well as improved smoothness when going from low notes to high notes (like the low F to the high B in the expo of the 1st movement of the Mozart. I even tries them blind, with a friend switching barrels on me, not knowing which barrel I was playing on. I picked the same MoBa barrel 6 times n a row as my favorite. It also seems a bit darker in tone, but maybe that is just my perception. I can't wait to audition the Eb barrels he sent me!

The only odd thing I noticed was that all of the barrels were quite a bit loose on my Yamaha custom - I had to put some tape on the upper joint to get them to fit. I assume having my upper joint re-corked will do the trick. With the tape in place, they performed well with the tuner, so I'm not worried, just a bit surprised.
