About the same horn stuff too....

It also levels the playing field too a little bit. It's funny because I used to use a beat up Bach Strad on the marching field and I would always get... "Man if I had your Bach I could deffinetly outplay you during a show...". My answer would always be... "Ok, switch horns with me and we'll see what happens." %100 of the time it didn't help them much and it showed them that it really was the player, not the horn. But in defence of the horn... using good equpiment helps. If you are a sport shooter, you wouldn't use a Civil War musket to shoot at targets 300 yrds away, when the technology of the day allows for much more accurate equipment.'
