| Nice post, Manny; however, I am using this term of "dark" very loosely to describe only one very small part of the sound that I desire.
I may have "a misconception about what adding weighted material to horn does", but my perception of what goes into the making of the horn to get the sound that I desire goes far beyond what Monett can do and it is for this reason that I rejected him and many others for making my Temple Trumpets.
IMO, there are even more important aspects of making a horn than "purposeful design" and here we go with intent, objectives, meaning and all the other terms to describe the aspects of an artist expressing himself on canvass or in the making of a horn. One can see this in why certain people like/reject a certain artist and why some people gravitate to one particular artist instead of another.
To avoid getting you and anyone else upset, I will end this subject here.
