To me, the smaller bores can also sound ‘pinched’ when played loud and high. People often wonder why they cannot get the ‘Hollywood’ sound with orchestras in other parts of the world, and this is one of the reasons. Normal horns can start to get zinging at mezzo forte. I prefer the large bore as these instruments can play a solid forte with a nice round sound, and the zing enters the sound later as you get to fortissimo. Sonically, the smaller the bore is, the more zing you get at lower dynamics. The smaller bore and bell project better in the concert hall where the listening point is further away. The large bore instrument has a larger bell that works well in the studio where a big, wide sound must be evident at a close distance, where the microphones are. It should be noted that the difference in size is quite small and not noticeable unless you really know what you are looking for. In the LA studios the players usually use aĪs opposed to the smaller bore ones often used in the concert hall, or London Studios.
