Patrick,

I occationaly work with guys who play and love the 43 & 72 bells, (and evenone guy with an old Benge.) Sitting next to them the are loud as hell & they hear themselves very well. The band members too tend to hear that ...'spreading' ... of the 43 & 72 bells. Then I'lll go see these guys play in a club (when I'm not on the gig). The 43 & 72 bells did't project as well as a 37. A particular club I am speeking of is LOUD AS HELL on the band stand, crowded, low celling ... accousticly the 37 bells project better (out front 100 feet away) than a 72, 72*, 43, 43* 43 Sterling plus.

I don't play a Bach trumpet, however my horns are made with the equivqlent of a Bach 37H ( heavy - 25 - guage) bell. This horn / bell (for me) projects even better than a standard Bach 37.
