| Sorry, I know my answer was pretty generalized, but it truly is a combination of a lot of things.
As for the bell and it's affect on the sound, that definitely plays a big part.
The Bach 37 bell is a versatile bell that can be both dark and bright, depending on how you push it.
One of the smoothest, fastest responding dark horns I have ever played on was a Conn Vintage One with a copper or red brass bell. I'm not sure of the shape in relation to the Bach 37.
Anyone else have anything regarding this subject?
