Hi Jazzman 1945,

During editing of the recording with Audacity, and as I now review the waveform of my small tube/large tube recording, I see no appreciable difference in the shape of the waveform between the small and large tubes. What were the conditions under which you obtained your results? For example, tubing sizes, melodica brand and model, and recording conditions.

Previous recordings by me, which I have been unable to locate so far, showed the larger tube produced a fully sound with more lower frequencies. This time, I did not hear that, though there are many variables I did not explore.

First blush this time indicated I could blow easier and get more power, but the more I played and compared the tubing sizes, the less I experienced this perceived difference in performance.

Regards,

Lowboy
