Re: Just for discussion: resistant or freeblowing setup? Why?

When I say free blowing or resistant, I think about backpressure as you play. If I try to move as much air through the horn as possible at a loud volume (play fff), am I working very hard to move that air and get that same volume? Is there a lot of back pressure, or is the air going through easily. Consider the difference in air pressure and backpressure when blowing through a drinking straw vs blowing through a coffee stirrer.

For horns that are characteristically one or the other, consider playing a stereotypical buffet r13 "A" clarinet, vs a a Selmer Bundy Bb clarinet. A clarinets are generally considered to be more resistant requiring greater air pressure than a Selmer Bundy would require to play at the same dynamic......stereotypically.....NOT saying it's the case all the time....!
