OK, I'm a guitar player who likes the keys of C, F, G, and E ... lots of open strings. If you add up the number of flat symbols in those key signatures, you get a grand total of : 1 (the key of F). Playing a guitar in a key with a lot of flats is ... not worth the trouble, IMHO. (I am joking, of course, maybe, I think ...) Do brass players enjoy playing in the key of E, with four sharps?

I am also a synth fan and have learned that a "brass" sound will need a sawtooth wave form at its base, rather than a square wave (woodwindy?) or a sine wave (flutish). Maybe that is explained in the entry, but I'm curious about the physics vs. the digital synth practicality.

Hello Steve K, this article is currently in Peer Review (just click the link on the entry) you would be most welcome to join us there and hopefully get an answer to your question

Hmmm ... that's what I thought I did, clicked on "Peer Review" on the front page, then clicked on the "Brass" article, then added my discussion at the bottom of the entry. That's not correct?

Not quite. The Peer Review conversations are held in a different place so that they can all be together. You can get to the Peer Review conversation for this entry by looking at the entry and clicking on the tiny Peer Review link that appears at the Right hand side.

You can also get to it from the Peer Review list of entries by clicking on the last posted date beside the name of the Entry.

OK, got it, & moved my questions over to Peer Review. Not sure if they are the kind of questions appropriate to peer Review, but ...
