| The kind of brass/metal/material/plating used will affect the sound.
Kanstuls are generally built to have a heavier, darker sound. Schilkes are built to sound brighter, more resonant.
BTW, has anyone else noticed theres a lot more weight on the 3rd valve slides on Kanstuls than on any other horn?
The size of the bell will affect the sound, although I have never been quite clear on it. Doesn't a larger bell make the sound ringier?
Bore size makes a sound larger, but it takes a lot more air to fill the horn, or else the sound will be diffuse.
