Well it is 6% more light than dark, and 17% off being bright. It
has a fudge characteristic that derives 82% from the material of
the instrument, and the rest of the upper clamp of the ligature.
I used to think that that kind of sound came from the elbow
patches on my jacket but there is only limited evidence of that.

You get the 6% and 17% factor by the amount of closure in the
nostrils. Not openness, though, that simply indicates horniness.
The fudge of course is without nuts.

Is there something else I can do for you? If not, then buy my
book.

Dan, Pardon me, but I really must ask this question. What
exactly is a
"velvet" sound? Christy
