Bill Cardwell, Machine Testing, and More

There is so much to learn here. I love the chance to just geek out about the trumpet!! Thanks, K.O.!

Bill sounds like a very practical-minded genius. It is rare for most folks to recognize analogies across disciplines and he was also able to apply that knowledge to develop a superior instrument. This video piqued my interest because I’m a geologist and have used a similar technique to measure shear wave velocity, shear modulus and porosity of earth materials through FFT analysis of background noise (seismicity), referred to as ReMi (refraction micro tremor analysis) and percolation theory (the way seismic waves propagate through a material). Thanks K. O. for sharing Bill’s knowledge!

Thanks for commenting. Your work sounds fascinating and I totally agree that few recognize cross discipline applications. When my Band, Reno Jones, started doing demo's with Meyer Sound (www.meyersound.com) Bill wanted to know all about the subwoofer arrays Meyer was using to "steer" the low frequencies of the PA. Bill told me he had used audio beam steering to locate oil in the ground back when he worked at Chevron. This caused a lightbulb to go on in my head. Seems like you're on the same plane which is way cool!

@@stomviusavideo Thanks K.O., we visited on Tuesday and my son picked up an S3BB. He’s loving it! Thank you for your help - our visit was the highlight of our week! Looking forward to following up with a mouthpiece once he’s gotten significant time on the new instrument. Cheers!
