What is the difference between a Single radius and a dual radius hand slide crook?

Do they respond differently?

Single radius is like half of a circle. Think Kings.

Dual radius is "squared off," think Bach.

Yup!

Comparing Edwards crooks, the single radius crook is much smoother feeling, response wise, than the squared bass crook.
