i read some time ago, you said wood horn with a certain porosity on surface is best sounding. I doubt abought that, as i thought the differences of finish  ore even material would affect sound in a way no perceivable. today i saw a thread that confirms my feeling : http://audioheritage.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=12390&page=2  " By the way, the listening tests performed by Keith Holland confirmed that in blind listening tests of various commercial horns, the material, wood, metal, fibreglass, etc was not correlateable with perceived quality. Knotty or not! "

You are perfectly within your constitutional rights to doubt that finish or even material of a surface affects sound. You feel free also to find positive sensations but cursing Internet discovering that there are some people out there who feel in the same way. I have no idea what practice of your own made you to feel that material or finish does not affect sound, I presume that you have no own experience on the subject, so feel to develop your “doubt” in any direction you wish. I have no idea what “listening tests” Keith Holland performed but I assure you that he is a fool, not to mention that he used blind tests the makes him a double fool.

However, I do not even suggest that you should make your own judgment on the subject as it looks like making decisions based up own experiences or own interests is not what the direction you tend to go. Internet is cheap; many random and accidental people run their mouths in there. Stop browsing…
