Re: low dynamic frustrations

Sometimes it's the horn. Can you really get the low notes to "bark"? You know -- big fat ugly honking low g's and such. If not, it might be your horn. Have somebody else with good low chops test it. Can they honk the low notes out? If we can play the low notes loudly, it is possible to play them softly as well, but if the horn sucks down low it sucks. Unfortunately, true Vulgani are seldom invited to get involved with the design of horns, so some of these beasts (which are otherwise good horns) get out on the market.
