my last regular quintet prefered the sound of my bigger horns,
but also (especially the trumpets) didn't like the extra work.
Tbn and horn players can generally come up with a bigger, as well
as bigger sounding horn to match/compensate. Apparently
trumpets just blow louder (?!?!?!?!??)
The person who said "ask your group" was dead nuts on,
the only thing I'd add to THAT is they may not be able to grasp
the "idea"....youi will have bring the horn and play it with them
for a while before they'll be able to assess.
Best,
