Okay, while on the subject of open blow.

The Scherzer I am testing (still loving it, BTW) has a REAL open feel and sound, but I notice resistance in the lower range, past low C. I may be strange, but I actually like it.

Also, on every getzen I've ever played, I notice that the horn seems very resistant until you start going past tuning C, then the horn "busts wide open!"

How do you build resistance into certain parts of the register? Is resistance even planned when building the horn?
