Hello good folxs,
I just wanted to start a little discussion about individual views on an issue I've been facing recently. I've had a younger friend have me try out all these different horns he got his hands on (yammie, bach, call, monette, kanstul) and he kept asking why I could the same things on all the horns regardless of the specs. For instance he would say something like "This one is a lead horn" and I'd play a little lick on it in the upper registers. Then he would hand over a "classical" horn and I'd be able to play the same lick and it would confound him.
So the question is: In your expeirence, which matters more: The equipment or the player.

For my own answer: I know people who swear up and down on one particular horn, but for me I find that I can do anything I want on any horn, the only differences being in certain sound qualities. Ok, and... DISCUSS!

***Please keep this civil. We do not need any brand flamming or name calling. If some of the physicists, intellects, and professonals would weigh in, we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time.
