[TPIN] adding resistance to a horn?

[Keith Reynolds]

You can add a little by using the smaller cornet to trumpet adapter from 
GR: but you have to be using a cornet mouthpiece with a trumpet 
receiver.  This will probably not add as much resistance as you seek, 
but it is a cheap solution.

I believe that one size of Louisville pipe is slightly smaller as well.

Good news: both guys at GR and Cliff and company are very helpful, nice 
people.  Do not hesitate to call them.
