@Trumpetsplus said in I Think ≠ It Is!:
@Dale-Proctor I still must admit that I don't understand what the Resonance Enhancers are actually doing. But, whatever it is, they do it on all the designs I have tried it on. So, presumably they are addressing a design (deficiency) common to all trumpets????
I think they solidify the valve block, since the majority of trumpets and cornets leave the upper half (or more) of the 1st and 3rd valves unconnected. Your enhancers give those valves a connection to the 2nd valve, So they all share the bell and mouth pipe bracing. They do work, providing any of the good effects sometimes gained by heavy bottom caps, without any of the drawbacks.
