The trompette basically buzzes at the same pitch as the trompette string is tuned to
The buzz usually sounds slightly flatter (up to 10 cents) than the string pitch There is much debate as to why this happens I believe that the effect is caused by the fact that the sounding length is increased when buzzing by the distance between the notch on the dog and the pivot point where the dog meets the mouche bridge. If you do the math it ties up pretty closely HGs with short dogs do it to a lesser extent Others would disagree Graham Whyte -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Matthew Williams Sent: 04 January 2007 20:12 To: [email protected] Subject: [HG] Trompette tuning Another technical question. If the trompette string is tuned to the correct pitch, does that mean the buzz will also be in tune when sounded? If not, then why the difference? And is there some adjustment which will help the two pitches converge?
