Re: Sterling bells vs. Copper bells

Copper may have more colors then silver, I don't know that, but I do know that yellow brass has much more colors than copper, or goldbrass. Yellow brass is the most toneflexible material IMHO.
I own a medium-weight yellow brass Van Laar B7, and I play from lead in a bigband to smallgroup jazz, and I get allways the sound I want, within my own limitations.
