I toyed with the idea of offering to make him some mp3's of all his horns for a free holiday. How cool would that be! But I suspect there are plenty of people nearer him who would do the same.<BR/><BR/>AK & Gattina - it is weird isn't it. If it was owned by someone here I'd try to have a go.TopChamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03377737494575644509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36140207.post-27313388495534033972008-03-12T08:55:00.000+01:002008-03-12T08:55:00.000+01:00Ian & Trav - The sound: I don't think the curves w...Ian & Trav - The sound: I don't think the curves would make it sound like a horn. I think horns sound softer because of their length and the fact that the tubes are conical... trumpet tubes are the same width up to the bell.<BR/><BR/>I think it would sound different because it seems to have a built-in mute on one of the bells. <BR/><BR/>There is an upside down fourth valve, which I think might just allow you to change to the muted bell... but the website doesn't tell you anything about it!<BR/><BR/>can't get it to link but have a look:<BR/><BR/>www.horncollector.com/Trumpets/Sax%20Shaped%20Trumpets/Miraphone%20Double%20Belled%20Trumpet.htmhttp://www.horncollector.com/Trumpets/Sax%20Shaped%20Trumpets/Miraphone%20Double%20Belled%20TrumpetTopChamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03377737494575644509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36140207.post-6864733140395406382008-03-12T02:56:00.000+01:002008-03-12T02:56:00.000+01:00So would it still sound like a regular trumpet?
