<><> Bill Hausmann and Tony Wakefield both said, more or less,
that there's more to the question of tone color at higher pitches than
just the number of possible components.

I agree. I only meant that many of the contributing causes are
discussed frequently -- limits of human hearing, decay of hearing with
age, details of embouchure and breath support and 'chops strength' and
alternate fingerings, and so forth.
My intention was merely to point out a factor that I've never heard
discussed before.
It was a novel idea to me that, in addition to everything else,
there are fewer tone colors available at higher pitches -- no matter
what your playing skills or hearing capacity happen to be.
