Just curious:

What note do you think will project the loudest out of a baritone?

Is there an ideal note that one should play for maximum volume or would the note vary by player?

There's got to be some science to it.

For example, a very high note on soprano can be heard over almost anything. I'm assuming that's due to it's pitch not it's volume. As a soprano player, I would imagine the maximum decibels would be achieved in the mid range around a 'G' or an 'A' below high C. (I may be wrong but I thought I heard that back in the day.) Does this hold for Baritones? If so what note/range?

Lastly, is it louder if your viking drunk (or do you just think it is)? %-)  :yikes:  %-)  :yikes:  %-)  :sly:

I'm playing a G above the staff.

As far as playing drunk, there would definitely be no inhibitions as to tone quality control...  ]:-)

Then it would seem that the "G" (or maybe "A") that I referenced for a soprano would be the 'volume' note to play on any G bugle, eh?

I thought that, but having never played anything brass lower than a mellophone, I wasn't sure.

BTW, what's 'tone quality'? Is that like
