Single Radius Tuning Slide vs. Double?? - Page 2

Still Trying · 02-07-2005, 06:14 PM

I've got a collection of old records and pictures of jazz greats through the years at home, which I inherited from my Dad. One of the pictures is of Bunny Berigan. I have no idea what kind of horn he was playing, but it definitely has a single radius slide. It definitely dated back to at least the 1930's also.

I would think the long curve might be subject to harmonics as the wave passes through. Constant changing of the angle as the wave reflects off the pipe. I may have this all wrong, but I have this visual of waves bouncing all over the pipe in the curve.
I tried a Kanstul 1500A and found I had to put a little more behind it than my old "D" slide. It was stuffy before I pushed it and really lit up after I did. More resistance at low density? But there were a bunch more variables than just radius in this case.
