Buffet ICON Neck

Author: mozartklar

Hi Everyone,

I'm currently play testing an ICON neck for my Prestige. My first impression of the neck was that it just felt great to play. Very free blowing, much more resonance in the sound. When I put my stock neck back on, I couldn't believe how much more resistant it felt, although I will admit, the sound was very close.

Has anyone here measured these necks and cross referenced the specs between ICON and stock necks? Are the register tubes the same size? I had a few colleagues try the ICON neck against my stock neck and they too could not believe the difference and ease they felt. I can't see how the red copper alone can account for such a different feel but then again who knows, I am not in R&D.

I would love to have more information.
Thanks!
