explain what is meant by the response of the horn? i've read it somewhere in trumpetherald but the meaning is still quite vague to me. and what factors affect the response?

OK, I´ll try:
A responsive horn is one that speaks very easily and quickly. The less you have to work to get a good sound, the more responsive it is.
Misaligned valves, dirt or solder blobs on the inside or air leaks are factors that make a horn unresponsive.
Generally, lightweight horns are more responsive than heavy weight horns of the same design.

I agree with the above post but also think of responce as how the horn "handles" too. A very responsive horn handles the technical stuff like a Porsche. A less responsive horn might handle more like a Cadillac - nice ride but you wouldn't want to race it.
