A very interesting explanation of the conical properties Dennis!
I just want to point out that Dick Shearer talked about a JAZZ 
ensemble and than I can agree with him, but I certainly do not agree 
that we should use small bore trombones in brass band. You definitely 
hear if it is an euphonium or a trombone playing. I think that the 
large bore trombones give a more mighty and powerful sound than the 
often very narrow sound of a small or medium bore trombone.
