Ron wondered What is the difference in the American and the universal sound? Also is the American sound from Jones, chambers, etc. or Hollywood? What do major American orchestras play?
Leo B answered Ron, I have lived in a true cultural backwater for too many years but the last time I checked there were 2 "American Sounds". In any area that is touched by salt water a darker 8D sound is very popular, inland a lighter, more centered sound, is considered correct. ***************** The influence of salt water may explain why this darker tone quality is called the Long Island Sound.
