I guess I'll be unpopular opinion here!

I tried out all three one black nickel, one rose gold and two of the silver, and I loved both of the silver ones, I felt the rose gold was a little warmer, something I'd like for chamber playing and the black nickel was REALLY REALLY bright and tinny, I didn't care for it.

I personally felt I could tell a real difference between the three, granted it could have been just coincidence that the 65 and 66 silver I tried were "good" and the Nickle plated one I tried wasn't but it was at a buffet table and their demo set, so I doubt their "road" set wouldn't be tested to make sure they were all "good" ones, but again it's different for everyone.

And I don't think it was just me "wanting" the barrel to sound bad, I was actually really disappointed. I thought the black nickle looked really sharp aesthetically and was looking forward to getting one just for that reason! (Gotta have my clarinet looking good to!) I just had such a negative reaction from it from first note on it really scared me off.

As a side note. I'm used to playing Backun Barrels. I have a Traditional, a moba and Indigo wood Ringless.
