Here another rarely preserved all original Florida produced Double Ring.  This piece has a tip size of .075 and features a LARGE original hand finished baffle.  This baffle configuration, I have seen on a a small number of FL DR, it’s one style, probably all done by the same person, resulting in (on the scale of Otto Link) a very bright, cutting and powerful response while retaining the underlying tonal complexity these are known for.  This is the shape that Coltrane and others would have been trying to replicate with having pieces worked on that were not originally finished this way.

This piece is an epic upper echelon player; fast, crisp, bright, defined, shimmering and colorful.  it is not going to operate the same way at an 8 tip for example.  I don’t suggest altering it, although there is metal available to do so. Just a reed strength 3 and above depending on the cut will make this function perfectly for the player who knows how to operate it.
