Hey Larry,
Some time, maybe 6 months or so, ago Scott had posted on the MF Tribute Site that he'd crunched his bell & had to get a new bell put of his trpt. Best I recal he ws going to have a Bach 37 bell put on, but when he calls you back, ask him! When I saw him play at the Tribute To Maynard Alumni band in ST Louis, Mo this past he sounded wonderful!
To the readers: What Larry is saying about the resistance factor making player easier ... YUP! My horns are a .460 bore at the valve section, however I have gone to a #30 bore hole in my mpc and the smallest Reves stock bb (692s) for the majority of my playing. I don't notice the sound suffering any. As a matter of fact the tone / sound accually has a clearer core, and it's given me a few more notes "upstairs". And the size of the tone (fullness ... what ever) has not suffered. The more I "back-off" the better & fuller the sound gets. I guess (???) the effect is similar to playing a smaller bore horn.
BTW ... Scott and Tammy got hitched some time back, a little more than a year ago.
Regards,
Michael
