Dan, you wrote: People prefer this penetrating, brighter sound. Why is that? I believe its the influence of popular music, setting the standard for what sounds "right" to our brains.IMHO, speaking as a singer, having sung in operas, large choral works with orchestra, etc., I think it is the violins that keep stretching the pitch upwards in an effort to be heard above the winds. (Certainly it's not the singers!) I don't think "people" prefer this sound. It's the classical musicians in the orchestra that have control over the pitch. Bass is another question altogether, and I think you are right regarding bass "slam" in rock music. It's artificial, and....that's O.K. Just my thoughts. Wish I could hear your 3.6s. Happy Listening. P.S. As a fan of the clarinet, my fav is Eddie Daniels. Whose yours?
