In Reply to: Point was that the "unique" sound of school bands is an issue of poor execution, (on modern instruments, : ) posted by jdaniel@jps.net on April 15, 2021 at 10:38:57:
. . . you've never heard of HIP-influenced performances on modern instruments? You should get out more! ;-)
And the comparison of modern-instrument performances by 3rd graders to those of HIP practitioners is very much to the point when it comes to the subject of vibrato - not specious at all! It's as if the HIPsters stopped their musical training before they were taught (or learned) vibrato! There's something that just sounds stunted about their kind of playing. (And some of the execution on some HIP recordings isn't THAT different from that of the 3rd graders!)
