[QUOTE="Mikem, post: 585294, member: 29"] WarneOut: I like Zeno Marx think I understand what you referring to when you refer to a "balanced" pipe but in my minds eye some of your examples to me are more astetects then balance. To me a well made/balanced pipe has more to do with the fit of the stem, how the airway is cut into the tobacco chamber, etc. Just the nature and density of a briar block prior to carving could affect your balance test. It appears based on your comments concerning your work on instruments have you ever considered making your own pipes.
