And yet, great players, like Chuck Findley, manage to color their sounds from smokey to peeling paint with the same horn and mouthpiece:

Bill Chase and John Coppola played screaming lead on Martin Committees while Miles was all smokey on the same horn.
It's the indian, not the arrow. |

In terms of sound the arrow does make a difference. Some horns are designed to produce a more brilliant sound than others. Some horns are designed to produce a smokier sound than others. Some players can produce significant contrast between brilliant and smokey on the same horn with the same mouthpiece but all horns have limitations. A player could go farther in at least one direction (brilliant or smokey) with a different horn, different mouthpiece or both. _________________ HERMOKIWI |
