Subj: Bore vibration re: materials for a "bored" wednesday night

I'll give you a better experiment. Play an open G, and then take your hands
(both), and wrap them around the barrel, and upper joint near the A key.- the
comparison is to demonstrate that there is vibration on the outside of the bore,
and that it can be dampened. hence the bore DOES vibrate. The argument was that
there is no bore vibration, so the material would not matter if that were true.
If the bore doesn't vibrate, then materials don't matter, if it does, then it
matters!!!!!!!

Re. materials discussed in another thread, let's do an experiment. Take three
dimensionally identical drinking glasses. On is plastic, one is glass, one is
crystal. Tap each lightly with a fingernail. If they sound the same, materials
don't matter. If the sound different, materials do matter.
