I thought it interesting to compare the sizes of the three Pinecones now that I have a tenor under construction. This photo shows the soprano on the right and its big sister, the concert on the left. There is about a 20% difference is size and a substantial difference in tone and volume | And here is the concert beside its new and untested big brother, the tenor. This tenor is hugely larger as I look at it. I wonder if I made it too large. I wonder what it will sound like. I guess that is why it is fun to experiment. I will begin the French Polish in a day or two and will soon be able to string it up. Apt to be a boomer. |
