Does anyone know about the brass qualities used by different makers, e.g. CuZn15, CuZn30 - and how this contributes to the sound of drones?
Cartridge brass is the type used for ferrules and tubing if I remember correctly (its what I’ve been using, for what that’s worth). The official name is cartridge brass 260 and its
nominal composition is 70.00% Cu, 30% Zn. See http://www.nbm-houston.com/metals/brass260.html for a more complete description.
