I just looked at my silver B&M
last wednesday I looked at a brass Mirafone
I didn't hear a difference
what is reality?
Seriously, aren't there too many variables to be able to say
which "sounds" better? Maybe there's some theorist waiting
to diatribe us...but I dunno if we are objective enough
for an "all other things being equal" type of discussion,
and honestly I think a better question is "how many tuba-playing
material scientists can fit on the head of a pin?"
....that said....congrats to all you dirty bird fans from someone
in the San Francisco Bay area...
