Two observations I would like comments on (agree, disagree): 1) Shallow-bowled mpcs (Shilke 29, Laskey "G" series) help improve the efficiency and a quicker response of large belled horns (8D, King Eroica). Deeper mpcs on such horns require more energy to play (more effort to produce a fortissimo).
2) Shallow-bowled mpcs, while helping with high register playing, make the partials seem closer such that accuracy becomes a problem (high notes to the embouchure feel closer and are harder to pinpoint). Thanks. Larry __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
