This could be the gold(plating) of the headjoint/mouthpiece/ligature, body orother features like the riser, crown, tab rings or keywork.
** Tuning wise the rose brass instruments tend to match better with rose gold(plating),yellow brass and gold lacquered instruments usually are a better match with yellow gold(plating)GOLD Solid gold is our superlative and always makes the sound more brilliant.
This is our premium line.
