Yes, when you get down to it, how the sound is produced is the vibrations are translated through metal tubing into a speaker.

EVERY little scrape and mark inside of any of the tubes can affect how the vibrations travel, and therefore, how the sound is produced/percieved by the listener.

What does he do to adjust the horns, and what makes them so much more delicate than my bach.
For one, the Monette's have a much softer bell. I wish I could hear an mp3 of someone dinging a Strad bell, then a Prana. In fact, I think that it is advised not to use a regular trumpet stand for the Monette, because it can warp the bell.

The more horns I play/test, the clunkier my 37 feels and plays. My take on the Strad, of course.
