I am thinking of getting a (small bell) Buescher Big B tenor repadded. The original snap in resonators are gone, and the horn now has rivet pads without resonators. The tone sounds dark to me, but stuffy.
Since I will be using this horn around amplified instruments, I thought I should get over-sized flat metal resonators. I want to restore the classic Buescher tone, but with some punch. Do you think the over-sized resonators would change the character of the horn too much, and make it sound like a brighter modern horn, and could the oversized resonators effect intonation?
If the oversized resonators will alter the tone character too much, what resonator/pad combination would bring the horn back to having the dark, classic, vintage Buescher tone, but with improved projection?
Thanks!
