Many members have contributed to this subject. Distinguished horn players came down on both sides of the issue of whether cutting the bell and adding the ring changes the horn tone. Some people think the horn tone can be improved. One horn player wrote that he got rid of all his cut-belled horns.
What gives? I start from the assumption that everyone is reporting in on what they hear in comparing the horns "before" and "after". I have a theory that human beings hear sound differently from each other. And specifically, some people hear the detail in a complex sound pattern and others don't. What other reason(s) could explain such divergence in opinion on such a "clear cut" issue?
