While we are on the discussion of bumps and steps and the like - I played with a trumpeter last summer who had a stepped leadpipe. It had ridges all the way down it, each approx. 1"-1&1/2" apart. I asked him about it and he told me that it was something that he had put on his horn because it apparently let the sound waves vibrate more freely. I guess each step was supposed to let the waves open up gradually or something. Does anyone know anything about this leadpipe or have a comment about the idea?

thanks, chuck koontz
