Re: BT, RI, or 55

Nice set!

I own 2 RI and 1 55 and I played an early L-series BT that looked and played identical to my best (L-series) RI.

I am almost sure my both RIs have the original barrel, without metal lining.
Was this a special option? Or just a repair fix?

The 55 is not bad at all. It has excellent intonation and a beautiful dark sound. But is a bit resistant, not as free blowing as the RI or BT.

One RI is the best player, good intonation, nice open sound with lots of character. Good for jazz.

If I have to choose I would probably go for:
1. BT
2. RI
3. 55
Benny would have done the same, I guess ;-)
