Do you happen to have another Dixon polymer to compare it to like a 001 or the 004?Tyler DelGregg wrote:Did I mention how fond I was of the Dixon tunable polymer? DX005
So, amongst the brass, nickel, alloy, and polymer high D, I like the polymer best.
I have the 001 and did a review of it here. I really like the sound quality, just not the feel due to It's very lite build. It's a barrel is only about 1 mm thick. But that's not really a big deal breaker for me, since it sounds nice. It just feels very toy-like. And I imagine these 004 would be built very close to the 001, only the tunable version.
So if I were to pay twice as much for the 005 that you are recommending, Id kind of like to know that it's a little bit of a "beefier" instrument build-wise. Hopefully something closer to a 2 mm barrel thickness
And if anybody cares, I have an email into Dixon music, which anybody else could have done before now, regarding if there were indeed any particular changes to the Trad, in particular its fipple, in the last few years.
