He also showed that people imagine a difference in sound when the horn doesn't change but there was an expectation that it did (i.e., Horn #4 in the blind listening test was the same horn as horn #3).

I played a Schmid double for a long time and got a little negativity sometimes due to my sound not blending in well with 8D sections. I didn't win a recent audition because of it - and I was in the final round, too. I sometimes wonder if it was more of a visual thing than auditory - but I'm probably changing to a Geyer now anyway. Sometimes I think if we were all blind we might not even tell much of a difference in sound. I think Ken Pope even showed something to that effect at a symposium one year. -William _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
