So **not** my own experience...??? I just don't understand this??


I will spare you the rant on moving air, but consider a 30hz organ note
at considerable volume. Then consider the piccolo pipes above that, and
all-else that goes on. The last 5 minutes of the Organ Symphony move a
great deal of air. Physics would suggest that a fly-power amp pushing
perhaps 20 square inches of diaphram (even long-throw) at-best is not
going to be able to manage both ends of that spectrum (and the middle
of course) in anything remotely approaching mid-orchestra seating
concert-hall volume.... Outside in the lobby, perhaps.

Trumpets.... you *might* get the central part, but not hardly the
attack and decay, again and most especially if other instruments are
playing along.

Kettledrums... not at anything approaching volume as noted above, and
as they are 'tuned' drums, other than a very precise system will lose
most of them. They are not 'snare drums' by any means.



OK, we're in business. A quick scrute through the records (which are in no
particular order, other than I am already bunching the Mahler) has produced
4 different versions so far:

And I've fired up the big stuff to get a head of steam:

....all 4 watts of it!! :-)

So there'll some fun and games in a little while!

What I try to do is record it *open mic* and post a bit on my Show N Tell
page. All very hideous (it's only a lapel mic and it's buggered up - mono
only, I think) and it will sound like a public toilet but there may be
enough information for someone to check the frequencies. It'll be on the
Jerichos - the big yalla boys!!

What bit do you particularly want to hear? (Assuming any success with the
mic....)

No time scale, no telling when - later with a bit of luck!
