Pagoda Stable Wood Barrels M6S

The Pagoda barrel's distinctive exterior shape isn't decorative. The unusual profile redistributes mass along the barrel in a way that optimizes how resonance transfers between the mouthpiece and the body of the instrument — a design choice that affects tone and response in ways a standard cylindrical barrel can't.

The M6S is built from stabilized maple — wood that has been treated to eliminate the cracking and warping that natural wood barrels are prone to in changing humidity and temperature conditions. You get the acoustic character of real wood with the dimensional stability of a synthetic material. Carbon fiber rings add a further layer of reinforcement. A barrel designed to stay consistent through Calgary winters and summer heat alike.

The M6S features a conical bore and sits second from the narrowest in the Pagoda lineup. Uversa World's four models get progressively wider from M6 through M7S, with the M6 being the only traditional bore design and all others featuring unique bore geometries. The M6S's conical bore is slightly more focused and resistant than the tapered designs of the M7 and M7S — a good fit for players who want the stability and resonance of the Pagoda design with a more controlled, centred feel.

CNC machined for precision and consistency throughout.
