Both Marcellus and Wright had what was the ideal sound for their time, i think it was the legacy of Bonade, very resonant and pure, some would characterize it as glassy (i.e., the sort of strong resonance you get when you rub the edge of a good wine glass). They had wonderful pitch sensitivity and hardly ever hit a note that didn't sound absolutely perfect. While standards of pitch are as high as ever among the top pros, I sense that the tide has changed and the ideal is shifting to a tone that has a different sound. Perhaps I could call if more woody or something with more of an acerbic or plangent edge to it, but then I would be exposing myself to a lot of abuse, so I will just say I like Larry Combs sound a lot.
