At the last ITG conference at U Mass, one of the vendors had a computer set-up to show visual images of music, or sound. He also had a decibel meter.

SOme of the guys were fooling around with it in the morning before the vendor rooms opened.

About 6 or 7 of us tried it out.....repeatedly.

Bobby from the Synergy Brass group "won" the "compettition" using my Solar Bell Eclipse.

He blew 126 decibels!

Next was another one time TMer who blew 124 decibels.

Alas, I was only 3rd with 123 decibels.

It was a pretty funny morning!
