Also, anything on the match between the player and the instrument?
The good thing about the Warburton mouthpiece I was enquiring about a 
while back compared to the VBs and Wicks that I'd tried was that it 
seemed to do a pretty good impedance matching job between me and the 
cornet: there was suddenly a lot more sound for the same effort and 
high notes came easier too. So between us we managed to achieve resonance, 
zero resistance, whatever. Any engineers shed light on this?
