Although I suspect that the molecular structure of the metal itself is not affected by the cryo process, I believe there are quite plausible, non-bizarre explanations of why the horn might actually play better after having this done: 1. The freezing process may loosen up some stuff that wouldn

Human subjective nature is the bane of a lot of experiments. I think there is probably supportive literature to show that if an experimenter wants to see a result he may bias the way he does his work to see that result. This bias might be in spite of the very conscious effort of the experiment no

My Alex 309 triple was "frozen" several years ago by its previous owner. I never had a chance to play it before the treatment, but it plays fantastically well now. Am using a Pizka mouthpiece which gives me a broad, dark, and very large sound. The notes slot well, yet slurs are easy. The
