Re: barrels

A different barrel may (and often) have different resistances and pitch tendencies that you would need to smooth out through familiarity. This is MUCH easier said than done. I got a Chadash from Greg Smith that was such an amazing match for the mouthpiece that I chose that I couldn't believe what a difference it made to timber and dynamics (and by dynamics I mean it could play really, REALLY LOUD!!!!). Even though I was in love with the sound, the difference of the throat note pitches was too much for me to put in the extra time necessary to overcome and I gave up on that barrel. I still dream about it and wonder what could have been.
