| Sidebar: So then back to the discussion of "efficiency"... does that mean that a Z horn (or for that matter, most of the "commercial" horns) are more "efficient" than a Bach or other "orchestral" type of trumpet? That their output of both "direct" and "indirect" sound when combined is greater for a given input?
Yeah, this is secondary to the primary discussion "here" but is, I feel, highly related being as how it is based on the the overall design of a trumpet and how much of the energy that is inputted shows up as "output sound"... both directly in front of the bell AND "off to the sides". |
