Can anyone offer some tips on improving tone. I believe I too would like
to be numbered amongst the "tone freaks" of the world. I think I actually
do have pretty good tone, but I want it to be as good as it can be.
What are some excercises that can be done to improve it.

I think I am even getting desperate enough to search the archives
for Mike Curtis's instructions on valving a harp as this is the
most concrete suggestion that I have yet to hear on how to improve
tone.
