In my opinion, the larger bore size and the slow taper of the HB-2P's is much closer to a traditional German design than an American design (characterised by smaller bore through the valves and a fast conical shaped taper).

As a result, I consider this to be closer to a German sound than an American sound, regardless of the piston valves.

Then again, the thing I love about these instruments is the ability to create many different colors with the sound.

If think you should use your colors like an artist uses colors of paint - if you use the same one in every situation, it's pretty boring.
