Re: Pyne bore styles

Like many of us, I too am in the dark about the Pyne barrel styles, though I do have an older Pyne Clarion barrel, looks to be black hard rubber, almost perfectly cylindrical, with two rings cut into the bottom of it. It was given to me by my teacher, who plays on Clarion barrels and probably knows quite a bit about them. I'll see if I can get him in this thread.

I can't tell you anything about the manufacture, style, or whatnot, but my opinion-based qualitative summary is that my model is

A: It plays quite brightly (too brightly for me), with tremendous projection and center, especially in my throat tones.
B:I would imagine the taper to be very slight if at all.
C: It plays about 5-10 cents flat on my Selmer Signature/Redwine Gennusa setup, which is why I don't use it in band playing anymore.

I'd recommend at least trying a few out if your setup is feeling a bit stuffy, but I wouldn't suppose that they'd be a good choice if you've got a free-blowing thing going. It can't hurt to experiment. =]
