Re: Tonal ring

Another problem is that what you hear and what a listener hears are different and the difference can change as the distance increases.

One of the ringiest sounding players I heard regularly (until his retirement and recent death) was Donald Montanaro of the Philadelphia Orchestra. His tone, when I heard him up close, was not especially lively, but from the audience at the Academy of Music or Verizon Hall in Philadelphia, the ring was so audible it was almost separate from the tone. Gigliotti was somewhat the same, although the ring, while there, was less prominent when I heard him from the audience seats.

So, sometimes you can't tell how much ring you're producing and may need to enlist someone else's ears to help. Maybe you already have more than you think.
