The main reason why people get to buy different mpc/ horn is for the color of the sound they what to play. |
A silver plated horn will look like a silver plated horn. That horn played by different musicians can take on a whole spectrum of colors.
All horns plated in silver do NOT sound bright. The same can be said about gold-plated horns. Faddis plays a gold plated Schilke, dark does not come to mind when describing Jon's sound. When I play Jon's horn I sound like me. I have played Wynton's hernia provoking horn........... I sound like me.
In most american symphonies, silver plated Bach C trumpets are still much in vogue, bright is not the term most would use to depict those sounds.
We, the players make the music.
The player is the magic.
