Hi Everyone,

I have been playing a Bach 42G with a 50 Lightweight slide. I recently purchased a straight 42 with a regular

50 (brass) Bach slide. The regular 50 slide really plays better in my opinion. It is more open feeling and the low tones really pop. My question is ; Would I gain a similar effect by replacing the nickel crook on my lightweight slide with a brass crook? How much does the slide crook material effect the sound?

Thanks,

Randy
