dhoff,
It's funny that you pointed out the one statement I debated keeping in. (I actually removed it at one point
) I was afraid it might be and obviously has been misunderstood. Clearly, there are some pro's that like a horn with more resisitance. Compared to student horns though, most "pro" level horns offer less resistance and tend to be more "free blowing". Again, there are exceptions to everything.
