Many years ago I also had an unsatisfying discussion concerning response with Mr. Meinl . His throw-away line at the time for the reason his line of horns was so stuffy was that the player needed to have resistance in order to play soft...
For me, any resistance (...force that tends to oppose or retard motion) in horn or player makes it more difficult to play soft.
