[TPIN] Are Symphony Orchestras Today Too Loud?

[Jeff Brenneman]

 I don't know about today but in 1965 I played with the Toledo
Symphony Orchestra in the brass band for the last movement of  The
Pines of Rome. When everyone was playing it got so loud I could no
longer hear any sounds, my entire body was just vibrating. I had
never experienced anything like that before or since.
