| Jeremy,
Essentially it's the shape and depth that changes.
The lighter horns with the right mouthpiece have splendid intonation and ease of play if you're used to non-heavy conventional horns. The heavier they get, the richer the sound gets and the resultant tones that occur when you play with someone else become more present.
Dave likes these Indian and Sanskrit terms that synthesize a quality he's built into the horns. Prana, I believe means "energy of life". I'm probably wrong... check the website. The number designations just have to do with where they lie in the development of the horns. Don't know why there isn't a Prana 2.
The clip that's up there right now is the Prana 1. I love that horn. There are some pretty wild clips coming on the Prana 3... stay tuned!
