As radical an idea as actual experimentation

the sound you want.
Gee, do you get a different sound on C trumpet
than you do on Bb trumpet? How about Flügelhorn?
(Sorry; tongue very definitely in cheek--and it's
hard to triple-tongue that way! But this is
almost starting to sound like a P.D.Q. Bach
routine!)
