""higher section bands make a bigger sound, but that's as much down to better intonation and balance as it is to individual volume "".
I am not disagreeing with anything which has been said, but bear in mind many of the top bands have an audition process which tends to equate to cherry picking those players with good sounds to join their ranks.
Therefore it isnt surprising that the top bands do have bigger sounds . as each member has been selected , largely for their sound and importantly their tone quality.
( this type of audition factor also occurs in Orchestras , so that their brass section players are well matched soundwise.)
- obviously their audition process is more in depth than even our top bands Trumpets for example can include transposition and can ,even involve multi instrumental ability Picc , C Bb Flugel etc..
