| Dave,
Of course they are two different things (resonace & resistance) did someone say they were synonomous???!!! A great trumpet (mine - ha ha ha) for the player is going to allow the right balance of projecting "core" of sound / "resonance", and feed back ( what the player feels & hears ).
Bells: It's been my experience, everthing else being equal, if the bracing isn't right, a potentially GREAT trumpet will be a non-responsive "pig" to try to play. (now that's just one variable we could talk about until Bill Clinton admits to ... "sex with that woman" ... but we don't have that much time)
