There can be a noticeable and considerable difference between the effectiveness of an instrument in a small room, and the same instrument being played in a large hall. The projection, or carrying power, relates to the ways in which the instrument produces sound waves. Good projection is linked to a “collaboration” of resonances working together, producing a tone which is slow to decay, therefore enabling the full strength of the tone to travel - still sounding rich at a great distance.  This is particularly important for a soloist who needs to be heard above other accompanying instruments.

Some instruments sound loud under the ear of the player, but in fact do not have good carrying power; other instruments can sound muted to the player but are actually producing a wonderful projection of sound. This aspect is also in part linked to the set-up together with the fundamental structure of the instrument.

We believe in achieving both power and clarity of tone, which is rewarding for the player, as indeed it is for the audience.
