Hi Guys, have any of you bought/tried the BariPro Baritone sax from Thomann in the Black Matt finish, i'm interested in any feedback you may have regarding the finish, how it looks in the flesh as it were, if anyone has one for a while, how is the finish hoding up etc.
Thanks in advance

Well guys, i went and bought the Thomann Bari Pro. I got the Matt Black finish, it arrived very well packed in a box within a box in it's substantial case, the low C and bell keys were held closed with some chunks of aeroboard, the instrument is a real looker with the black finish and gold engraving. It was very well set up and played all the way up and down the registers. I got a friend of mine to try it out next to his Yani bari, he was very impressed with it tuning wise and also with the response, so all in all, i am very happy with my purchase and would not have a problem recommending this horn.

I wish I would've gone with that instead of the normal gold lacquer. I was trying to be sensible and save money, but that looks neat as hell! The silver one was also tempting.

Silver was hard enough for me on a soprano to keep up. I eventually just gave up and let it turn black and all the other odd colors silver gets when it tarnished.
If that black is a lacquer and not some kind of plating it seems you’ll see every little scratch you’ll get.

Yeah, this is actually why I opted out of silver. However, tarnished silver looks fairly nice too I think so I don't think I'd have been bothered.

Very nice looking! And it is not a car where you have to worry about matte black always looking dirty :evil:

Nice horn. The finish looks similar to some of Cannonball's.
