Just received the Barry last night and I thought I would share my two favorite cues...
My playing cue is the Black Boar while the vault holds the unplayed Barry.

I agree...
I will have to figure out what is next after Bill Schick completes a refinish (really looking forward to that) to compliment this set.
But then again, you have at least one if not two cues in your CP collection I would love to have.
I was a Navy Scuba Diver but I doubt if I can hold my breath long enough when you would let any of those go.

Sean - let me just say thanks for the Barry.
It is really a great cue and if not for the correspondence when you found the cue I may have missed a chance on this one.

Tell your partners thanks as well for everything.

Thanks for the kind words and the cue is just more incredible than the pictures can show. But so is the Boar and I thought showing both would be best.

The Barry will remain unplayed for now so I may have to find another to play with.
The balance on this one is just so sweet that I am tempted...NOT, Better not even think about that.

Guess that answers my question on whether I can take a few shots with it....LOL. That Barry is BEGGING to hit some balls. Awesome cue!

I have hit with a high end GUS SZAM years ago....very nice.
 
I Was There When The Cueaddicts Boys Picked Up This Barry, So I Had The Chance To See It In Person. It's A Very Nice Cue. I'm Sure You'll Enjoy It. I'm Surprised They Let It Go, I Know They Were Very Happy To Get It.

after seeing some of Tony's less intricate work go for big $, i would get another "player" and put the BB in with the Barry. besides even "Barry's" get lonley sometimes. :)

I am sure they considered keeping it since it was a period of time since the acquisition to when they posted it.
Seems like you get to see all these keys I either acquire or am interested in.
Will have to ensure we cross paths at the same times cues cross your path!

That is the plan...
I have an order with Jim White for a hoppe cue that will become my player.
Cannot wait for the call that he is about to put wood to the lathe and checks to see if anything is changing since we spoke last.
The Barry will have company with both the BB and a Schick as soon as Bill completes his refinish and makes the large ivory pieces a bit more noticed.

Thanks,
Myron

It is in fact begging for a tour on the table but this cue will stay mint...
Unless of course I find something fancier but the selections are getting slim so I am sure that will not occur any time soon.

Now some 30 years ago, I had a chance to see some Gus's and Bushka's but do not remember how they played. Trying to refresh my memory with the latest pieces.

Looking forward to seeing you when you are up to some playing.

TIMING FOR MEETING PEOPLE HAS NEVER BEEN MY STRONG POINT, BUT I'M SURE WE'LL MEET AT SOME POINT DOWN THE ROAD. I LOOK FORWARD TO IT.
 
Looks as thought the BB is in, yet again, REALLY good company, Myron!! The Barry is absolutely gorgeous. Congrats on the pick-up. Looking forward to seeing that one in person, the next time we can meet up!

I'll see if I can time it to where Matt and I are there at the same time....and I'll hold him back from trying to shoot some balls with the Szam.

He don't look like much...but he's squirrely!! :) :)

Be good.

Big congratulations

Myron,
Wow!!!!! Two outstanding pieces for a very deserving person. They would be a highlight in anyone's collection. :) :) :)

After I finalize my next two big pick ups that are in the works, a Barry cue is on the distant horizon. At least I sure hope so.

Take care and enjoy,
Jim Kissinger

I went for the moon on this one and now to back off and go after the cues that are more down to earth...Well maybe!
Will be looking forward to seeing the latest piece in the works being that the master cuemaker is on my list of future NEW acquisitions.
Hoping to compare notes as well being that we have some similar tastes.

A great looking cue!!!. Better than money in the bank. Barry makes a great Szamboti.

Myron,

First off I must say WOW!! I'm jealous. That Szam is nice, but the BB splice work looks fantastic. I bet they both look much nicer up close and personal. I've never owned a BB or Szamboti. Out here where I live we don't see many available for sale, nor are the locals playing with them. My loss obviously. Looks like I may have to sell a couple of my cues and try one out.

Thanks for sharing.
