Hi DR TT…
I'm not sure.
I sure don't feel any obvious callus on my barre finger like I do on finger tips of the fretting hand. But then I don't feel discernible callus on my picking hand finger tips either and I'm an all-flesh player.
When I feel both left and right hands in the area I barre, I feel no difference.
Switching from nylon to steel will require changes, and pain may be an obvious side effect up front.
