DAMN! I KNEW IT !! A friend was reading an old textbook the other day, Audels Radiomans Guide to Electronics & Television (theory, construction, & servicing) written in 1939. The author goes on and on about frequencies within the range of human hearing. He makes this important footnote at the bottom of one of the pages: NOTE - According to Prout, the cornet is a vulgar instrument whereas the trumpet is a noble instrument. The only excuse for a cornet is that it is easier to play than a trumpet. Non-musical instruments, such as the cornet and saxophone, if they must be heard, should be confined to 2nd and 3rd rate taxi-dance halls in order that cultured and discriminating ears may not be profaned. So, Im no Mozart, but at least Im still playing something vulgar.
