Re: Spread vs. Focus in Sound

Chris' suggestion might be informative. The bells on my 2 Marigaux 2001 instruments produced different results on the two oboes. One was a more centered sound (perhaps this is what Mark means by 'focus') and the other was a fuller sound. I tended to play my favored instrument with the bell producing a fuller sound (and this was the bell that came with it), though the other bell was used on a few occasions on that instrument. The fuller sounding bell never really had that fuller effect on the other instrument, however. It is not a perfect world.
A professional in this area plays a wonderful Marigaux 2001 instrument with the bell from his older 901.
