[TPIN] adding resistance to a horn?

Hey guys,
With Easter coming up I've dusted off the old picc, and I've noticed
something that has bothered me ever since I've gotten it. I like
resistance in a horn, and this picc feels really big. It's a Kanstul
made French Besson, which I've heard is about the same design as a
regular Kanstul, without all the extra bells and whistles. My
mouthpiece has been a Bach 7E, which I hated, so I recently took
advantage of the wwbw $3 mouthpiece closeout and picked up a Jet Tone
7S. It's brighter sounding, and adds some resistance, but the horn
still feels huge.
My question is this: I've heard that changing to a Louisville pipe
can help with intonation, but is there anything out there designed to
add resistance to the picc? I'm not looking to replace the horn,
especially since I only play it 4-5 times a year, but I would like to
find some kind of reasonable solution.
Thanks!
Matt
