I am curious if anyone has any opinions on the Pyne barrels. I have one, and it plays great but I am suspect of the material--does not seem perhaps to have as much presence as wood...I have a feeling it would not project as well in a large room...
Don´t blame the material, it is all about the shape of the inside bore. Wood with the same profile would sound the same.ving said:I am curious if anyone has any opinions on the Pyne barrels.

there's two sides to that campkymarto said:Are you sure that the inside dimensions are exactly the same? If you are interested, go read the threads in the tech forum about materials--scientific evidence is very strong that materials don't make a perceptible difference in sound, despite manufacturers' marketing claims.

Different design, where material does matter. Resonance of the wood is key in stringed instruments. Look at muting a stringed instruments and graduating of the plates. All about mass and vibrations.stevesklar said:there's two sides to that camp
ever hear a cement violin lately ?
I was joking .. couldn't think of anything else looking at this cello of mine wondering how it works .. what's a bow for ??Carl H. said:Different design, where material does matter.
