Can some one tell me the weight of any aluminum Low D (Overton/Goldy, MK, Burke, etc.)? I'm doing some research on the various materials for Low Ds so this info will be helpful.

Thanks
Ronaldo

Interesting. I would have thought it would be the other way around—tunable heavier than non-tunable. Same materials? Or is one brass and one aluminum?

Best wishes.
