| Don't get me wrong, different finishes effects the sound of course. But my point is that whoever is silver plating the Calicchio trumpets is doing a great job.
Silver plating --> clearer sound
Gold plating --> when there's one layer it doesn't differ from raw brass
Laquer finish --> because the layer is thicker the sound is warmer.
scratch gold --> I didn't notice any difference with raw brass, it's more a cosmetic thing.
scratch laquer --> a lot of difference, because there is a extra thick layer a vernish on the trumpet. nice for jazzhorns |
