I love the red bell w/nickel silver flare... The sound is so buttery and the sound just fills the room... I think the nickel/silver flare focuses the sound that is produced by the red bell... It gives presence and nuance to the warm sound... It helps to tell the story that one tells through their playing... the bell resounds and fits into any sound very well... It rests like a pillow of clouds...
I prefer your playing on the Red/nickel bell by a significant margin (listening on good studio monitors). Based on my listen, I also agreed with all your observations about the differences. Now I'm interested in seeing what a German-style red brass bell with nickel-silver kranz might do on an Adams! Also, has a similar Red/nickel bell option been tested on their bass trombone?
A very fine job sir! Each horn had a different and an individual sound. The gold brass was nice and rich and not taking anything from the other horns. I wonder how each horn would blend the the trombone section in an orchestral setting. A very fine job.
Sounded great on all. Interesting in that i wasnt expecting to hear such noticeable differences. To my ears: Gold- rich and warm. Yellow- brighter than gold, a pretty 'standard' type sound Red- very 'regal'- sounding Silver- dense and centered. My fav: Gold
I haven't played these, and sometimes from the player's perspective one setup would be better. If you like how you sound, you'll practice more. 🙂 The brass bell was the brightest edgiest, and would really be a good horn for dixieland jazz. The Gold brass was a nice full sound and might be a better all-round horn. I wasn't hearing a lot of difference in the nickel silver bell from the gold brass, but again I was in front not playing. The solid silver bell sounded the best overall. I felt the double tonguing was crisp and clear and I felt like you could actually play louder and more in control on the Ride of the Valkyries. The soft playing on the solid silver didn't sound as 'airy" as the other trombones. Just my opinion from you playing them for us all.
Red bell/nickel flare wins the lot for me... Sterling silver souds a bit dead at times... Yellow bell, not flexible enough to my liking... But this is just me...
In the piano Gold brass bell is the best and sterling silver is second. but at the ff yellow bell is best., I love this comparison video. Thanks. And How about comparison brand? Like edwards t-350e, bach stradvarius 42, shires.

Keith - awesome video! Could easily pick up on the differences. Tremendous playing as usual. Thanks!
Beautiful sound Keith! I liked the silver!

They look and sound like great horns! I've only ever played on Yamahas and in standard tenor trombones without the F attachment!
Very interesting👌🏻
I actually enjoyed the sterling silver and red brass better than the yellow and gold
I like the centerd tone of the yellow brass
Thanks for the feedback!
How does it compare to Shires and Edwards?

would it be possible that you name the songs that you performed in the description??
There's a TB1 at Schmitt Music in Eau Claire Wisconsin.

The red stem/nickel flare is my favorite as well; I think it is a very complex sound with versatility!
Sterling!

Thanks for the suggestion; we'll see if we can get a cross-brand comparison on the video docket!
