I like the idea of an impedance-matcher.
I wonder if there's a simple way of measuring the Q of a tuba at a given frequency? I imagine that a high-Q tuba would "slot" rather sharply.
An extremely high-Q tuba might not be a desirable thing either. I imagine that the sound would contain a lot of fundamental and very little of those overtones we associate with "warmth" of tone.
