Re: Spread vs. Focus in Sound

Mark -- There is another way to look at the differences in the sound of different instruments. You have describe the two instruments ashaving a particular sound (in this case, you have 'focused' in on the 'focus' of the tone). View this quality as the default sound of the instrument. Perhaps more important to me would be what other sounds the instrument can produce. Is it able to be deep and rich, as well as light and sprightly? Can it be plaintive and brash and subtle? Can you change the timbre at will, and uwrap different characteristics? The default tone is important, but only part of the story.
