@Dale-Proctor thank you, Dale!

@OldSchoolEuph thanks - always fun to hear the real stories after hearing the rumors 😉

Well, I am surprised. This fellow can sing. I never thought I would ever hear those old ballads from the lips of Robert Palmer. Thanks for sharing.

@dr-go I had a real difficult time getting it filled. From now on, please use the name I used when we first met at the hotel. I've got pretty good ID for that name.

@stumac Phase is not what causes the frequency that we "hear". I find more evidence that the size and taper of the trumpet bell "amplify" frequencies starting in the second octave. An 1300 Hz horn is around 4.8" in diameter at the mouth according to horn theory... This would damp the fundamental which is below cutoff severely.

@j-jericho

That was great fun. I grew up watching those old musicals and thought I was in love with Vera Ellen and her gorgeous legs. Gene Kelly was definitely America's best athletic dancer and proves by some of the scenes in this video. Lot of hard work must have went into editing all those scenes to match the rhythm of Jackson's song. Just proves that music taste can change but rhythm never changes.

Hi Dr-GO,
It has a Mahavishnu Orchestra Visions of the Emerald Beyond sound to it.
Very Good!

@Kehaulani said in Does a large bore horn take more air?:

So I'm a little confused.

Could we summarize, then, in layman's terms, that the amount of air required doesn't necessarily depend upon what the bore size is but, rather, upon the collective design of the horn which includes a myriad of factors?

In other words, do some horns take "more air", horn-by-horn, depending on how it's constructed rather than on bore size alone?

Exactly this - horn by horn, depending on how it is constructed, how we hear ourselves, the efficiency of the entire body/mind/mouthpiece/trumpet/playing environment system. Even the term "amount of air" is not correct as our bodies have no measure of this except running out before a phrase is finished. We can believe that the horn is a loose blow indoors, we take it out to an open lake and the same system is like blowing into a brick wall!

@SSmith1226

Thanks, Steve, that was so sweet. The future of music is in great hands.

...sample pack makes good sense.

...sounds pretty slick to me!

The 1991 Getzen Eterna 900 LB that crossed my path one year ago made me sell most of my other horns...

Oops! The 1980 Getzen Eterna 900 ML that crossed my path one month ago makes me think selling the LB one...
