I just received a new Burke alumnium D. Very clean sound, nicely in tune, solid timbre and thus far no clogging. I'll use it on a recording tomorrow and put it through its full pacing. L.E. McCullough
L.E.,
Is that the session or narrow bore?

For those with both the narrow bore brass and aluminum D...

Post by DRC »

I'm considering both the Burke narrow bore brass and aluminum Ds right now, so this seems like a good thread to pick your brains.

For those who own both, I'd be interested in getting your input with regard to tonal characteristic differences, volume, playability, etc. Can either hold its own in small sessions? Tell all!

Appreciate any help,
DC

larry plays the session

the narrow bore is the same boresize as a generation D,
the session has the same boresize as a gen. C
