@cooper,

I loved your post. I think that you are right - it is not that you were louder with the Weber -1B. The narrower shape gives the tone more focus, something like a bright white torch being more visible than one with warmer, yellow light.

From the listener's perspective, if I can hear and identify the oboe it must be loud, right? Nope! The additional focus makes it stand out against the crowd.

I applaud your decision to choose a tonal quality that blends rather than one that shines, a sign of a true musician who is subservient to the music, not the other way round.

J.
