Re:Why are D-sharp and E-flat considered to be two different... by dbcurtis on Sunday August 28, 2022 @10:59AM (#32628901)
With valved brass instruments you are trying to approximate a logarithmic relationship with a linear sum of components. Trumpets have a high resonant Q, so not using the valve slides is going to produce out of tune notes. I played horn once upon a time. Horns have low resonant Q, so you just “lip it in”.

one of my favorite aspects of learning the tuba was when we covered logarithmic approximations via linear summing.
