| B15M, maybe my conception of 'response' is a little different to yours - for example, I'd say my E3L responds faster than my Bach 37. Same mouthpiece, same player - but the Schilke feels more agile and "responds" more quickly. Nothing to do with resonance, the Bach is still very resonant - it just feels different to play - of course this is a bit of a silly example, given that the Eb is a very different beast to the Bb. In answer to your question, no the horn doesn't change, but in this case I'd guess the fact that the Eb is smaller makes it respond more quickly than the longer, heavier Bb.
