Re: The Barrel Question

Hank,

Applying the Bernoulli principle, what would a barrel with a narrowing taper toward the bottom do to the airflow through the instrument?

My guess is it would speed up a bit, which could increase the fullness of the sound.

Still, I'm not quite sur e how that affects tuning, but it's said that it does.

Heck, put an airfoil in the bore and the whole horn might levitate, if you get the CG right.v
