Well...............

I appreciate where you're coming from on that, however there is more to "sound that travels."

It even surprised me after an almost two year hiatus from playing amongst people (due to Covid). I was sitting next to someone who is clearly a really competent player and I thought to myself, "oh that's a decent sound, but nothing to write home about." But when the rest of the group played, and that person had an accompanied solo (also there was a seating adjustment with that person moving about five people over) the sound blossomed into something quite extraordinary. I'm sure that if I charged through fifty years without a break I probably wouldn't even have noticed, just took it for granted as the sounds of rehearsal. But I challenge others to look for similar scenarios and (sit next to a known great player and really listen, then go back to a further orientation.......for example) see what sonic differences you can pick out.
