Does anybody have any of these? If so, what's your opinion?
Disclaimer: not going to use these in any big bands, brass bands or symphonic orchestras. Solely for solo and small ensembles work.
Looking to choose between
1. the Mahogany w/ Birch Bottoms
And
2. - Chicago Jazz Philharmonic Walnut & Padauk
Leaning towards the #1 because of the possibility to light up a bit more if needed.
Intend to use this on a small bore trombone.

I've played them. Personally the sound is just a little weird to me. Plus they cost an arm and a leg.

I do like the sound, though it is out of the ordinary... They are costly...you can buy a Trombone for the same price.

Warning if they fall out of your horn they will crack and aren't exactly easily fixed. I had a friend who cracked his cup mute within half an hour of breaking out of the box. Was not a pleasant experience.
