Fine forum, and I'd enjoy some opinions on Bb replacement barrels. I see there are a slew of them on the open market, and wondering how important a replacement for a stock Buffet Festival might be? My teacher just got a few new custom barrels for his personal instrument, and let me try switching from my stock one. (He's not trying to push selling anything, just thought it would expand my experience with some different equipment.)
It seemed like the custom might have been slightly more easy to blow through, and I couldn't tell if the tone was better to the degree of an additional $100 or $150 expense... Do most serious players change from stock barrels to something else/custom? I wouldn't mind getting more info on improvements in my equipment, but other than woodshedding, would like to know if a new and different barrel is a reasonable addition for better tone. (Or placebo type thinking?)
It's got me wondering...
This is a genuine signature.
