| Sound differences between "Bb" and "C" t
Manny-
I was recently talking with a friend about various keyed trumpets and mentioned someone I know of pretty much only plays "C" even in his big band. My friend stated that some "C" trumpets were getting big and heavy enough that they no longer played quite like a "C" should. He feels that a "C" should have a lighter sound than a "Bb". On one hand I agree with him, but on the other I feel that by changing the tubing length it should have a differant sound. Where does the truth lie? Also, other than transposition concerns is there any technical reason as to using a "C" rather than a "Bb"?
Thanks |
