| Trumpet weight
Although all of the responses were appreciated, it appears that the answer to my question is so elusive that all responders chose to skirt the issue and answer in "relative" terms.
Weighing a horn would seem to be a simple matter and, if I had a mass of such brass at my disposal, I would indeed do so and solve the lingering question.
As for "manufacturers having good reason to avoid such info," I see no logic behind that statement whatsoever. For example, in many parts of this country, it has proven difficult to find a depot (i.e. store) that stocks a large enough number of varied brands to make a trip worthwhile. Enter the internet, where photos of various horns, manufacturers, resellers and forums abound. In some cases, this triumvirate represents the only source of preliminary information for a prospective buyer and yes, for some, the actual physical weight may temper the decision making process.
Using the above sources of information, the only manufacturer's web site, that I have found to date, that has seen fit to post such exacting info is that of Taylor Instruments.
Thank you all once again for your input. |
