| The bell of my Monette Ajna2 is actually very "lively". It has more "ring" than my Bach 229 C trumpet. The heavy horns have a well defined resonance behavior. This gives them a much different "feel" than lighter instruments. I "believe" they play more "predictably".
Manfred Amrein (a music dealer and trumpet builder here in Germany) actually cast a horn into a concrete block. You are right - in this case very little gets back to the player.
