aatlb25 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I think that in hornlines now there is too much of a trumpet sound instead of mellophones! I think that is ok for power sections and bitey backgrounds, etc but I think that melodic stuff and chords should be more mello dominated in the high brass, mello just makes such a gorgeous sound :) Any opinions?

bawker Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I tend to agree...I dunno if it's the way a lot of the writing is now, but there's a lot more "pinch" in the sound in some places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aatlb25 Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 Yes this is because trumpets are all taking over the world! They are a cylindrical instrument, which makes more of a powerful noise rather than colorful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the Bb horns. And the amps. ^0^ ^0^ ^0^ Thread closing in 5-4-3-2-1.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a cylindrical instrument, which makes more of a powerful noise rather than colorful. Aren't all Bb valve bell front horns cylindrical? That's one of the differences in sound between Bb and G - G bugles are conical (so are trombones). Correct me if I'm wrong. (Oh, yeah, this is DCP so I'm sure someone will!!)

SaraNYC Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 What is going on?? Bawker and I have taken over your thread. All your Bb horn are belong to us. Seriously though, I think it has to do with the change from G to Bb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
