Subj: What type of sound carries?
Date: Thu, 21 Mar 1996 10:32:39 -0500

Here's todays riddle. What type of sound (dark or bright) carries better
in a concert hall? I've heard differing views on this and haven't made up
my mind. Has anyone had some experience in this (playing for colleages in
the hall)? I know what I like to sound like (to my ears on stage) but I've
had people say that my sound needs a slight edge to project more in the
hall. What sound is easiest to push through a string section?
