| Re: the myth of "fast air" .
Ah- much gratis there Ted. But i'm still unconvinced. :) No free lunch is sure so; i don't argue there's a fixed air volume. Although i feel like there'd be a cumulative increase in the players' energy or air pressure, by aid of a repetition of 'narrowing/widening' bore? Making for a more efficent use of the same volume, which would respond in the horn as greater volume, though not literally so. -You'd be getting a more intensified air-pressure, despite there being no increase of volume or energy from the player? The ratio of lost air-pressure, to gained, in the narrowing/widening bore progression would amount to a greater energy output at the bell than at the mouthpiece? Each time the air-volume cycles through the narrowing area it gatheres a little more pressure than it lost in the widening area? The volume of the air's changed character from point a to b, hasn't gained any speed, but just become a players' more effective energy?
I dunno. :) -Particularly whether it'd amount to any appreciable benefit?
