As much as some people insist lacquer doesn't matter it is amazing how more open and complex the unlacquered horn sounds.

[@melvinbridgewater6402]

The unlacquered works for me. 👏

[@diegoalberto1071]

The cherry on top would be to display the audio spectrum analyzer of your mic while you play so we can get an idea of what is actually brighter or darker.

Thank you for all that effort you put in! 🤩 I'm deeply grateful. I really dig that tune, Wave! It's a pearler of a Jobim tune. Based on what I heard, I'd be buying the unlacquered one. It better matches my sound concept of what I want from a tenor sax. 🌠🎷

[@ginohernandez5143]

The answer is yes. You will love his horns!

[@kitosiqueira4815]

Good to hear you playing Tom Jobim 👍🏻

[@diegoalberto1071]

They both sound spectacular. I'm saving up for one...

[@kitosiqueira4815]

You and both of them sound great. I guess I tend to prefer the unlacquered one.

[@sorenfuhrer401]

At least on my phone I can't make out a difference. Both sound really really good - and at that price point there is no surprise they are sold out most of the time

[@cookieman136]

These are incredible saxophones John. They both sound so good!

[@jlwoodwinds6394]

Thank you so much for listening!!!❤️🔥🔥🔥

[@bilbostoy]

The lacquered was sweeter and I enjoyed the tone on the unlacquered , rhe winner is...saxophonist everywhere!

[@ddteamrc6461]

Each sounds unique, I think I prefer the un lacquered

[@jlwoodwinds6394]

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to listen and comment 🫶❤️🔥

[@gluuuuue]

The sound from the unlacquered seemed softer, more diffuse. I suppose that gives it more potential for a sound that's warmer, tones that you feel more than you simply hear.

[@excru3506]

the melody is "Wave" for anyone wondering

[@jlwoodwinds6394]

Wonderful tune!!!! I used to love to play it ☺️🫶

[@milesberrysax1212]

every horn sounds epic when youre playing on them bro!

[@selmer1971]

Unlaquered

[@sonholee5769]

Sounds great! Better? No can tell. :P

[@alexedl7538]

I liked the lacquered one a little better

[@TrueBlueYou]

Sir…please put a little staccato and marcato accents along with the smooth stuff in your demos-just a suggestion

[@bobblues1158]

They are both great. There might be some difference., but it's almost imperceptible. And it could be something other than the lacquer either one can be
exploited with different mouth pieces, reeds, et cetera. I of course, would have to have both of them!

[@pgroove163]

👍
