Pretty cool, that shows that it takes just as much art to make a good horn as it takes to play it well!

I thought it was interesting. Glad some of you enjoyed it.

Very interesting article without any "prejudice".
As far as the Hainlein natural trumpet goes (I also built one) it seems that the "imperfections" and "irregularities" of the hand hammered horn actually make it easier to play. The slotting is not as good as with the machine produced horns making it easier to lip into tune!
So yes, an artisan has to weigh the necessities of the player versus the necessities of the manufacturing process.
Thank you tatataka!
